So far, it seems to drastically reduce the amount of force that officers use. Not only that, but the rate at which citizens sent in complaints was ten times higher before the cameras in the study were implemented.

So, is it a viable option? Do you see any flaws or downsides with it? Do you think that it might have any effects that the study possibly didn't account for? Spill!
