On the 25th, Gunsan police were the first in Korea to start wearing 'body cams' when called out to a scene to properly capture evidence of what goes on at crime scenes from the perspective of the police.

1. [+457, -19] Honestly, all teachers should be forced to wear this before entering the classroom as well. It can serve as evidence in cases where students are accused of assaulting teachers or when teachers are accused of assaulting students. Parents will always defend their kids and the school will always defend the teachers. This video would serve as the ultimate proof of what went down and I'm sure more people will respect each other in its presence.

2. [+301, -4] There are so many psychos around us lately that I think even the every day man needs to start wearing this..

3. [+10, -3] Politicians should be required to wear this for all out of office activity so they can be caught getting bribes.

4. [+10, -2] I remember when talks of CCTV first came out, people were opposed to it for privacy reasons... but once its focus was put on catching crime, it's all over our country now. I feel like this body cam will soon go nationwide as well.

5. [+9, -1] There definitely needs to be video proof of everything nowadays, even cars have blackboxes. There are people who commit crimes and tell a completely different story... evidence is everything.

6. [+7, -0] I wonder if anyone else can purchase them for every day use. Nowadays, you get beat up on the streets just for looking at someone wrong.

7. [+6, -4] Police will probably delete video evidence if it captures them swearing and hitting civilians.
