Makes me so happy I was able to get this body camera when I had the chance

I think they are more advanced now then four years ago. The cameras are great it’s just that like the guy was saying if you get into a tumble with someone it can be pulled off your holster or your clothes. I have recently ordered a more modern camera with a lock on clip at the back of it, however for that little bit more reinforcement I may have to purchase a magnetic plate to secure it more. It just gives me peace of mind knowing that if someone grabs at my camera they won’t be able to pull it off my body.

And most of the cops in your country are still stupid😂 they only rely on the technology available for them. Lol

What's the name of the camera

[@DraftTheHippies]

Axon Body 2, it is WAAAY outdated compared to newer Body 3 and even newer Body 4. Still a good cam though

the middle finger though

[@amagictouch]

Does it aim my feet? I’m worried about the cop lying that he got kicked

So you’re just ignoring the camera man basically and looking at the audience. Ok
