The set-up also consists of data storage feature, which would come handy in case of transmission failure.The cameras will also act as a check on corruption on the part of the cops as their interaction with civilians would be monitored. Police are planning to issue the new cameras to traffic cops of the rank of SI and above.As of now, police are using three body cameras on a pilot basis, with three sub inspectors of Gopalpuram, Charminar and Saifabad traffic stations wearing it and coming out with positive records as the crime is recorded and the perpetrator cannot deny it.
