WHY IT CAN BE VALUABLE TO CARRY both a gun and a recorder.

UPDATE: A reader emails:
I have been following your posts on this subject with great interest.
The problem — as noted in a recent post or two — is that the arresting officers sometimes delete or “disappear” the video.
There is a solution to that problem that I have not seen mentioned — streaming video, using services like Qik.com. These not only record the video to the cell phone itself, but stream live, and automatically archive the video to a website. As soon as one hits the “stop” button, it archives to the website. Evidence preserved.
“No video you say?”. . Might want to compare that police report to THIS ONE.
I haven’t used Qik. Anyone out there have experience with it?
