Personal Guard Camera

As you know there is a trend out there to get each police officer equipped with a portable video camera that clips on their uniform. This will allow a recording of the crime(s) in progress, the suspects resistance to arrest and can be accidentally erased or conveniently malfunction if it documents officer misbehavior.

Security guards can do something similar (recording, not misbehaving!). However your firm is Very unlikely to purchase these cameras for their guard staff...that way lies madness...and lawsuits.

Placing a Flip or Kodak video recorder on your belt allows you to document suspicious persons, vehicles and incidents in a low profile manner. Simply carry the video camera in a cell phone case on your belt. If, while using it, you are looked at in a hostile manner you may get away with it if you pretend you are texting, playing a game app or talking on the phone.  BestBuy, Amazon and everyone sells these today. You could use your iPhone or EVO if you can afford such things and their contracts.

Remember you too can be prosecuted for wiretapping and invasion of privacy, especially if you get creative with it. So please obey the law.

You are not the police, as you well  know. Using these recordings, videos, pictures are probably not admissible in court and may get you prosecuted too. Fun times!
