Total Recall for Police Officers

Police in San Jose are testing head-mounted cameras. Meanwhile Vievu is making a chest-worn "video camera for cops." Evidence.com wants to be the storage system for cops:

EVIDENCE.COM™ is a full featured system designed around easy-to-use dashboards that turn geospatial multi-media evidence, such as GPS tagged video, into visual dashboards and tactical maps with full click-through to underlying video data

For soldiers and cops, video may be the first thing to start capturing. For the rest of us, it is probably the last, with things like health data, personal correspondence, and vacation photos being near the head of the list.
