The police department in Cincinnati is equipping its officers with microphones and miniature cameras to offer a patrol-cop's-eye-view of interactions with the public. ABC's Pierre Thomas made a gesture towards covering the debate about whether the gear represents Big Brother surveillance or whether it implies that a police officer's word is not to be trusted. His primary focus was in collecting COPS-style footage of street action: "Watch as a female police officer with a taser is in hot pursuit of a suspect who is accused of terrorizing a store."
Thomas joined us in front of a big screen with a police expert so we could watch the confrontation together. This is another new style of remote reporting from ABC. Martha Raddatz did the same thing--watch video with an expert along with us--when covering Pakistan from Washington DC last week.
