body cams
Cop chest recorders
Body cams are small video cameras worn on the body, typically by police officers, to record interactions with the public.
The footage serves as evidence and accountability: The body cam captured the entire encounter.
Debates over body cams center on privacy, when footage should be released, and whether they reduce misconduct.
Also called body cameras or bodycams.
