SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose police are testing head-mounted cameras to record interactions with the public.
The test using 18 patrol officers comes as citizens' groups criticize the department for too often using force during arrests.
Officers are to turn on the cameras every time they talk with anyone. They download the recordings after every shift.
The cameras are the size of a Bluetooth cell phone earpieces and attach by a headband above the ear.
San Jose is the first major American city to try the devices, made by Arizona-based Taser International. Taser is paying for the experiment, but the price could be high if San Jose equips all 1,400 officers.
Each kit costs $1,700, plus a $99 per officer monthly fee. That's $4 million department-wide each year.

Can't fill the shifts but they will spend 17,000 on a headset with a camera. I don't see it happening.

I'll wear mine if the the CM and City Commissioners wear one while they are on duty. Would that include cruising the North Trail...citizen contacts?

Headbands, Im having visions of the Olivia Newton Jon video, lets get physical. Or the Dunk going for a jog. Either way, those things will get lost every foot pursuit we get in. We do still chase bad guys right, oh wait, nevermind, we help them in every way but arresting them as a last resort.
