This is a cool idea for IoT based policing. As a public entity, they should be confident for all actions to be scrutinised and hold up in a court of law.

I was going to suggest connected guns (for additional data harvesting) but realised a connected gun that could be hacked is a terrible idea.

As long as the firing mechanism is purely mechanical hacking the gun becomes meaningless. Picture gun with attacked tiny video camera, hack it and the guy is still holding a working gun.
