We debunk the myth that body cams hold the police accountable. To help us break it down, we interview civil rights lawyer, and social justice advocate Alec Karakatsanis about his recent paper "The Body Camera: The Language of our Dreams."  We explore the origins of body cams, how they help launder genuine outrage, and some of the alternatives to solving the issue of policing in the United States.
