It would, but we shouldn't required it to get a conviction.
Of course you will likely to have a stronger stance if you recorded everything you do, be it's shopping, walking the dog, at work, giving the lady a good rearing, but we shouldn't resort to needing a camera in order to get a conviction - this is what a trial is for.[/QUOTE]
Not quite, a trial is to uncover the truth of the situation, looking at all of the evidence, and assesing it's reliability. A helmet camera helps this by providing an unbiased viewpoint that the court can actually see.
I suspect that in this case a camera would have forced an early guilty plea, and thus have lowered the sentance that she got.
