Shooting Guns And Photo Shots

The “Pistol Cam” is an audio/video device that attaches to a real gun. It activates magnetically whenever the gun is withdrawn from the holster. Encrypted software prevents illegal tampering with captured data. “Pistol Cam” representatives believe that the $600 cost per unit would be offset by the millions the city could save in lawsuits alone. That's possible when the officer is innocent; expensive when he or she is not. Justice should always prevail. To this point, the NYPD and most New York City politicians have refused to comment on the "Pistol Cam" or are withholding judgment. I’m curious about something now though. How do you get an armed suspect to smile when you point a gun at them and say, “Cheese!”?
