Business Idea. Discreet Auto Surveillance System (CopWatch) [View all]

Feel free to take my idea and make billions, but be nice and kick me back a few bucks when you do.

The background. The cops that are being caught today are done so by the cameras of others. Cops will still be crooked and violent as hell, but in today's world the way we get back is to show the truth, in vibrant color, 26 frames per second.

The idea. Discreet surveillance cameras and microphones hidden throughout each citizens vehicle that start recording when you see the blue lights. The cameras start running and record the entire interaction. The cars can be outfitted with wide angle cameras that will pick up the actions, should the cop drag you away from your car. Video is directly uploaded to the cloud and copies are automatically emailed to the ACLU if you are unable to return to your vehicle and hit the Stop button.

It's a raw idea that could use some work, and if anyone wants to brainstorm with me, feel free. I'm a private investigator and I have outfitted my own vehicles in the past to record the actions of others outside of my vehicle...mainly to document cheaters and such, but it can be easily done.
