How do you feel about gun cams? As far as I'm aware, it's a new technology that hasn't been widely adopted (yet at least), and in the unfortunate situation you absolutely need to unholster, it starts recording from the POV of the gun.
In my opinion gun cams are even worse than the body cams. I hope those never fully catch on.
