A: We don't know, and the number of self interested parties pushing them will make it difficult to tell.

Everyone from Microsoft to various attorneys and activists are drooling over these things, because the one thing that is certain is that they will generate lots of revenue and create lots of litigation.

How are the cameras going to create more litigation? It seems to me that the officers would welcome evidence that would protect them from false accusations... although, as it is now they already have the advantage in a he-said-she-said situation. I can imagine that is an advantage that one would want to keep. They also have the opportunity to demonstrate how all the militarization is justified, or at the very least flood the media with footage of righteous kills in order to counter the latest story of somebody getting shot who shouldn't have been shot.

Most litigation isn't about people wrongfully killed or injured (which is pretty rare) -- it's about things like employee disputes, time abuse, workers compensation and other, less exciting things.
