Honestly, if I'm walking down the street and I see a cop, I tend to ... behave ... better. (Not that I go around looking for trouble or anything.) If there's a cop watching, it doesn't really matter to me whether or not he's got a camera on his glasses; either way, I'm being watched.

If this cuts down on police abuse (and other wasteful crap), then I'd say the pluses outweigh the minuses.

If you weren't breaking the law, then that's not what I would call a good thing.

Right, at least with the camera, there is less chance for the officer to make a mistake, or lie.

I would agree. The point of my earlier comment was to imply that all policemen may not welcome the 'intrusion'.
