Update: My favorite feature on the Axon: its “Privacy Mode” switch, which automatically suspends recording during an arrest.
Because dashboard cameras catch only a part of the beat-down action, cops now use a new technology, from the makers of the 
not-so-less-than-lethal Taser: the Taser Axon. A cop wears the Axon over his ear, super soldier-style, while a device on his chest records the action, including all police radio calls. More on this to come.
On the street, law enforcement officers have seconds to make life-and-death decisions. In the courtroom, lawyers, administrators and jurors have years to analyze and second-guess those decisions. How do you protect the truth when officers have to defend their actions? The AXON (Autonomous eXtended On-Officer Network) by TASER. Only AXON protects the truth … because it provides a full-motion recording of exactly what the officer saw and heard, from the officer’s visual perspective. AXON offers audio-video recording of an incident from the point of view of the officer with pre-event video capture. AXON’s evidence-gathering capabilities can help streamline report documentation to maximize police-work efficiency.
Yet, if I try to record their acts, these protectors of truth take my camera. Officer Johanes Mehserle is behind bars today only because police were not able to confiscate everybody’s cameras.
“Sometimes there is justice, and sometimes there is just us.”

What’s this “Only AXON protects the truth” – there already are other wearable systems from guys like Digital Ally.

Absolutely, Noble. The privacy “off” switch concerns me most.
