Could civilian body cams slow down ISIS? [View all]

[Dan de Lyons]

An intrepid Syrian woman put on a body cam under her niqab and walked through the neighborhood, capturing a record of what it is like to live under ISIS.

Not everyone is happy under ISIS, and ISIS is itself a coalition that could develop internal differences, once the head sees what the feet are doing.

$38 buys a little police body cam on Amazon. $5000 would buy a hundred. $50,000 might provide a terrific video stream that could let the quality of life for people on the ground determine who governs them. A group-sourced project for just a hundred cams could make a difference.

For distribution, contact the middle eastern students organization at your nearest university. They will know who to talk to.

$500 would buy ten.
