Outfitting Harris County peace officers with body cameras could generate colossal amounts of data: 8 petabytes in 90 days, by some estimates -- or the equivalent of 1,600,000 feature films.
Storing all of it is just one of the host of tricky issues county officials and law enforcement are working through as they sort out the logistics of equipping local officers with body cameras. |

| Another "PC Solution" by proponents abysmally ignorant of the details, (and their long-term costs) and the complexities of secure electronic data storage and retrieval. All the "data" gathered won't be worth a damn (except for a political lynching) as evidence if not properly catalogued and secured. There's also manifold issues of privacy involved. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
