Abstract
Body-Worn Cameras or BWC are small audio-video recorders that are ‘mounted’ on the law enforcement officers. The shapes and types vary but in general, all models aim to achieve two overarching goals (Reinhardt & Sykes, 2014). They are believed to prevent violence or new crimes by capturing police-public interactions from the officer's perspective. On the other hand, they aid in the prosecution of criminals. When the cameras are visible to suspects, and officers are aware that the devices are turned on and capturing their behavior, a signal is transmitted to individuals present in the encounter: ‘Look out! You’re on camera’ (Ariel et. al., 2016).
