Believe it or not, Steven Seagal has been down with the police for almost 20 years, and we’re not talking about the cop he played in one of our favorite action movies either. Yeah, this guy has been working the night shift at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and locking up criminals from the Greater New Orleans area for the past two decades. The biggest surprise is that someone is just now making a Cops-style reality show about it. Better late than never. After watching this trailer, we’ll probably see what it’s about when Steven Seagal: Lawman debuts this Fall.

In today’s post-Sean Bell society, somebody needs to keep a close eye on where these trigger-happy officers are firing. Some New York cops seem to have recently found a solution in the PistolCam, a gadget that records video of your gun’s point of view.
With one of these bad boys mounted on the barrel, we’ll have clear evidence of what really happened in those controversial few moments when the bullets start flying. The camera, which can record up to an hour of MPEG4 audio and video, is automatically turned on when the gun is removed from its holster. The company claims that video documentation exonerates police officers in 93% of cases where they’re accused of brutality. Now we just have to keep an eye on that remaining 7% to make sure they don’t “lose” the tape. Watch some PistolCam footage after the jump.
