I know the person in charge of evaluating technology at Cincinnati PD and they were all for it a couple years back. The biggest issue is the cost and the data consumption. Cameras aren't all that expensive, however moving the data has been the biggest obstacle in implementation for a lot of departments as it is expensive and a lot of networks can't handle it. People don't realize that all that footage has to be moved to servers then stored. Then the question is how long it is stored and how do you pay to store that much video for that long. It is a much more complicated process than many think.
