Body worn cameras also provide several benefits to those on both sides of the lens, including:

- Officers avoid disputes over an officer's testimony due to bias or lack of memory 

- The footage can be used by prosecutors as a substitute for police officers' written reports - An impartial observer during a use of force incident- Fill in the gaps that are left by body worn cameras

While the technology seems flawless, it does have its downsides. Just as there is no way to guarantee a body-worn camera won't fall off during an altercation, nothing can guarantee that it will work perfectly each time. While many of these issues are being worked out so they don't interfere with the quality of the footage, one big problem is that body-worn cameras aren't completely reliable in every situation.

In a statement following a fatal police shooting in Ferguson, MO, Police Chief Tom Jackson said that officers would not be wearing them until they could be practically guaranteed to work properly.

With this being said, it's important to note that the technology isn't going away any time soon, and may very well improve to a point where it can be counted on in every situation.

Body-worn cameras offer protection for law enforcement officers, as well as those they interact with on the job. A body-worn camera also has different benefits to both sides of the lens. However, despite these great qualities, some disadvantages need to be addressed before we can feel confident about their effectiveness in all situations. 

As long as this technology is being improved and workarounds found for any problems it continues to create, I think it's safe to say that body worn cameras will remain a valuable tool for anyone who wants peace of mind when interacting with law enforcement or security personnel.
