According to Staff (2014), an officer in Idaho was placed on administrative leave after shooting an aggressive dog. The dog's owner apologized and the officer returned to duty. On camera, most incidents resulted in a scenario where officers spoke against the accused – “and juries tend to believe police officers rather than accused criminals,” Stross says. It goes on to say that this technology “levels the playing field in any type of dispute or allegation of abuse” and has led to the exoneration of many falsely accused officials, officials and citizens.
