<p>"Newell’s informed recommendations move the policy conversation in a productive direction. They serve as an important bulwark against the ‘surveil now, ask questions later’ ethos undergirding much of the body camera policies currently in place."</p>

"Significantly advances our understanding of police and society and the politics of information under the deluge of creeping (or perhaps better) galloping new surveillance technologies. Newell’s clear-headed interdisciplinary exploration drops gentle rain on the arid parade of unreflective, optimistic narratives, viewing police-worn cameras and their visual records as salvation. A foundational text for scholars and practitioners."—Gary T. Marx, author of Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology
