This is cray-cray!
A new cable reality show is planning to give the nation a first-hand look at the lives of police officers by installing head-mounted cameras on the cops!
That sounds terrifying and compelling all at the same time!
The show, which is said to be similar to Cops, has a working title of POV-PD and will be produced by Base Productions, the same guys responsible for Human Wrecking Balls and Fight Science, and Taser International, the manufacturers behind the POV cams.
“POV-PD will provide a new platform of longform television to show the public the challenges and heroic actions of law enforcement, recorded from the visual perspective of the men and women who put their lives on the line every day,” Rick Smith, CEO of Taser International explained.
Reports say the Taser has given the new technology a spin in San Jose, CA where cops have been mounted with the “bluetooth-sized” cams, but the cameras have caught “violent run-ins with civilians” which has sorta-kinda angered the public.
Understandably!
