Samsung hypes the Galaxy Z Flip as a great police bodycam
Samsung says the Z Flip is “ideal for busy police officers.”
Samsung’s advertising for its Galaxy Z Flip series typically revolves around Gen Z photo shoots and showing off specific features like interpreter mode. “The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series’ works well as a body camera due to its compact and foldable form factor, allowing for easy attachment to police uniforms and outer carriers.” “In their use as body-worn cameras, Galaxy Z Flip devices can help improve evidence gathering and transparency by clearly documenting details of arrests and other interactions.” “The Galaxy Z Flip additionally functions as a digital camera needed for taking pictures of crime scene evidence; an audio recorder for witness interviews; and a personnel locator for tracking an officer’s location through GPS.” The cameras have been positioned as an important tool for accountability and transparency, though as ProPublica and The New York Times reported last year, that promise is often undermined by local policies that can slow or outright prevent the release of footage.
