BBC NEWS: Dog cameras to combat gun crime
Dog cameras to combat gun crime

Police have collared the latest in technology by kitting out their firearms dogs with cameras.

New recruits to the Northumbria Police force are German shepherds Sammy, five, and three-year-old Zara.

They have been trained to help during armed sieges and wear miniature television cameras with transmitters fitted to their heads or harnesses.

It means they can search buildings and relay the information back to officers.

They sure seem to take gun crime serious in the UK as opposed to America where it's almost considered a folk crime with close to nonexistent enforcement of weak laws.

3. exactly...
remember when that little girl had to fundraise to get police dogs bulletproof vests? They are sent out to do jobs people won't, in situations created by people, not dogs, and without any protection whatsoever. It's sick.

2. There are no "gun crimes" in the US
Only rugged individual freedom-loving patriots defending their second amendment rights
