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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
