The rise of two movements in recording the police—body cameras and copwatching—responds to protests over the disparate risk of death and injury in law enforcement encounters and power imbalances between cop and suspect. The chapter opens in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, DC, where Terry stops and frisks of several young black men do not turn up a weapon. In a heated encounter, both sides have cameras aimed at the other, making a record from different perspectives. Recording can radically change the opacity of police discretion by creating records where none existed before, documenting everyday encounters that may never lead to contraband nor make it into a report, yet greatly impact community-police relations and the experience of civil liberties. The chapter also discusses the widespread hope that recording will reduce the risk of injury and death in police encounters and resolve disputes over uses of force. Though incomplete, the existing data reveal stark racial disparities in the risk of being shot by an officer. Findings are mixed on whether recording the police actually reduces complaints against the police and the need to resort to force. What is clear is the allure of technological solutions to long-burning problems.
