The development of technology has increased dramatically, now with many technologies in law enforcement, they have progressively taken advantage of the growing industry to better prevent or help crime.

According to article “Pass the Michael Brown, Jr. Law to begin equipping police with body cameras” that the case of Michael Brown Jr in Ferguson where Officer Darren

Back then, Computer Aided Dispatching was ground breaking technology, GPS did not exist, tracking of units was done with paper, graphs, whiteboards and bulletin boards.
