Exploding Cameras
Well, one camera. And not even here, but in New York:
- The NYPD has suspended the use of a certain kind of body camera “effective immediately” after one of them exploded.
A police officer was wearing a Vievu model LE-5 body-worn camera on a “midnight tour” on Saturday night when he noticed that it was smoking and took it off, the NYPD said.
Not long after, the camera exploded, according to the NYPD. No one was injured by the explosion, the department said.
“The incident revealed a potential for the battery inside the camera to ignite,” the NYPD said in a statement. “The cause and scope of the defect are currently being investigated.”
Axon, the parent company of Vievu, said it was working closely with the NYPD to investigate.
Is this going to impact Hillard's stock options?

Hillard should be a part-time custodian somewhere at minimum wage.
A camera exploded in 011 on 3rd watch too.
1 year IOD! Tax free baby!
They’re lithium ion batteries, I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.
1208am, Don't be a hater.... now go back to bed....
ANIFA plot. I'm sure of it.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Lithium ion batteries can ignite if a short occurs in the system. Nice. saw a video of a guy standing in line at a gas station counter when his pants burst into flame from the cell phone in his pocket. Don't drive in or around a tesla, you never know! Just because it ain't happened yet doesn't mean it can't.
New york has bigger things to worry about. Apparently they have "unisex" locker rooms there. A detective complained about the female boss of the precinct leaving her panties laying all over the place. She told him they were clean and proceeded to stuff one right into his mouth. Maybe that is why kojak was always walking around with a sucker in his mouth.
So, that wasn't a touch of indigestion heartburn precursing a wet fart?

Is this actually true?
If it is, please advise.
If this is true, Please advise Jay Ryan to resign from the big money at FOP if he does not immediately demand that all body cameras be taken out of service. He was all for them remember.
FYI: NYPD just took 3000 body cameras off the streets with no replacements because of exploding cameras.
New York doesn’t use Axon
Maybe the exploding cameras have something to do with the exploding crime rate....
Battery is a lithium ion type, Not that you would have a knife going thru it, but imagine a defective battery

BTW, battery life according to AXON is one year. Dept's cost will be to get 10000 new batteries will be $303,000 EVERY Year.
Hope they all explode !!!!
