  • Reminds me of a passage from my favorite Discworld book, Night Watch.

    “I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes…”

    “What?” said Vimes, looking down suddenly. Carcer was smiling cheerfully.

    “I said I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes. I know a clever copper like you’d think I’d got two knives.”

    “Yeah, right,” said Vimes. He could feel his hair trying to stand on end. Little blue caterpillars of light were crackling over the ironwork of the dome, and even over his armour.

    “Mister Vimes?”

    “What?” Vimes snapped. Smoke was rising from the weathercock’s bearings.

    “I got three knives, Mister Vimes,” said Carcer, bringing his arm up.

    The lightning struck.














  • I don’t think it’s going to happen that way. Body cams are needed if you want to record people working in the field, such as police officers, but for people working at a fixed location, an office or factory or what have you, CCTV cameras are cheaper, less intrusive, and harder for a bad actor to screw with by “accidentally” covering their lens or forgetting to turn their unit on.
