System and methods are disclosed for capturing license plate (LP) information of a vehicle in relative motion to a camera device. In one example, the camera system detects the LP in multiple frames, then aligns and geometrically rectifies the image of the LP by scaling, warping, rotating, and/or performing other functions on the images. The camera system may optimize capturing of the LP information by executing a temporal noise filter on the aligned, geometrically rectified images to generate a composite image of the LP for optical character recognition. In some examples, the camera device may include an image sensor, such as a high dynamic range (HDR) sensor, modified to set long and short exposures of the HDR sensor to capture frames of a vehicle's LP, but without consolidating the images into a composite image. The camera system may set optimal exposure settings based on detected relative speed of the vehicle.
An articulating joint for coupling an accessory to a support comprises a platform, a base, and a wedge. The platform couples to one of the support and the accessory, and the base couples to the other of the support and the accessory. The platform includes a hinge having a bore and teeth positioned radially around the bore. The base includes an undercut and a complementary hinge having a thru hole. The wedge includes complementary teeth positioned radially around a passageway and a ramp that cooperates with the undercut of the base. A shaft having a threaded portion engages a threaded insert to couple the hinge of the platform, the wedge, and the complementary hinge of the base. Rotating the shaft to a locked position causes the teeth of the platform to mesh with the complementary teeth of the wedge to retain the platform in an orientation relative to the base.

UNITARY CARTRIDGE FOR A CONDUCTED ELECTRICAL WEAPON
A unitary cartridge for a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) may include a cartridge body that stores an electrode, a piston, a propulsion module, and a propulsion module contact. To launch the electrode from the cartridge body, a signal may be sent from the CEW through a conductor disposed within the propulsion module. The signal may be configured to heat up the conductor and ignite a pyrotechnic material in the propulsion module to create a rapidly expanding gas. The rapidly expanding gas may move the piston to propel the electrode from the cartridge body and toward a target. A frangible cap may be disposed at one end of the cartridge body to retain the electrode in the cartridge body prior to launch.
A payload conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") may include a housing configured to house at least a plurality of electrodes and a signal generator. The payload CEW may be removably inserted into a bay of a launcher. The launcher may be mounted on a vehicle. The plurality of electrodes may be configured to be launched from the housing. The housing may be configured to be launched from the bay of the launcher simultaneously with or after the plurality of electrodes are launched. The signal generator may be configured to transmit a stimulus signal through the plurality of electrodes. The signal generator may be configured to transmit the stimulus signal before, during, and/or after the housing is launched.
A conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a stimulus signal through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW may detect the quality of the electrical coupling (e.g., connection) of pairs of electrodes with the target. In accordance with the quality of the connections, the CEW may provide pulses of a stimulus signal to the various connections between electrode pairs in accordance with a sequence. The sequence may provide pulses at a first maximum pulse rate to any one connection to increase the likelihood of inducing neuromuscular incapacitation ("NMI") and to save energy. The sequence may provide pulses to all connections at a second maximum pulse rate to increase the likelihood of inducing NMI and to save energy.
A conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") deploys wire-tethered electrodes after generation of an ignition signal. The ignition signal is provided to a deployment unit. The deployment unit includes a primer material adjacent a conductor. The conductor conducts the ignition signal outside the primer material. A temperature of the conductor increases in response to receiving the ignition signal. The primer material ignites in response to the increase in temperature of the conductor.
A shield cooperates with a detector to determine the distance between a conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") and a target. The CEW includes a laser for aiming the CEW. The shield cooperates with the detector to block or pass laser light that reflects from a target. The position of the shield with respect to the detector may be used to determine the distance between the CEW and the target. The detected distance between a CEW and a target may be used to select a deployment unit with a suitable range for launching electrodes toward a target. The detected distance between a CEW and a target may be used to determine a spread between launched electrodes at the target. The spread may be used to determine a likely effectiveness of a stimulus signal on the target. The detected distance, and any information associated with the detected distance may be stored in a memory.

Systems and methods for analyzing recorded data from one recording device, or a subset of recording devices to identify redactions that should be made to the recorded data. The identified redactions may be in accordance with a redaction policy. The identified redactions may be applied to recorded data recorded by other devices that recorded data the same incident. The redactions may be made to recorded data that was not analyzed prior to performing the redactions, so the redactions identified in one recorded data are performed in other recorded data that was not used to identify the types of redactions that should be made. Applying redactions to data that was not analyze to determine what types of redactions should be made reduces the amount of time required to analyze recorded data for redaction.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A DEPLOYMENT UNIT FOR A CONDUCTED ELECTRICAL WEAPON
A conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") impedes locomotion of a human or animal target by providing a stimulus signal through one or more electrodes and through the target. The CEW includes a handle and one or more removable deployment units coupled to the handle. A deployment unit may include a wad, a tensioner, a guide, and posts to improve accuracy of launch of electrodes form the deployment unit.
A system for a practice electrode (e.g. dart) for a conducted electrical weapon ("CEW"). An officer issued a CEW is required to practice with the CEW in order to maximize its safe and effective use in a stressful situation. Preferably, training is performed using equipment as similar as possible to the equipment an officer uses in the field. Training with a CEW may include using a CEW to launch darts toward a human target. Training with a CEW against a live target may be improved, at least from the perspective of the target, by using a practice dart that is similar in weight and flight to a conventional electrode, but that does not pierce target clothing or tissue or delivery a high voltage current through the target. A practice dart may be similar to a conventional electrode, but include additional structure (e.g. cap) that prevents piercing. The additional structure and/or a non-conductive filament may be used to reduce a likelihood of or preclude delivery a current through the target.
A deployment unit for use with a handle of a conducted electrical weapon ("CEW"). The deployment unit includes wire-tethered electrodes for launching toward a human or animal target for providing a current through the target to impede locomotion of the target. The deployment unit includes a barrier that prior to use with the handle protects the deployment unit from electrostatic discharge. Prior to use of the deployment unit, the barrier may further protect the deployment unit from ingress of dirt and/or moisture into the deployment unit. While the deployment unit is inserted into a handle, the barrier shields conductors of the handle and the deployment unit to facilitate delivery of a launch signal from the handle to the deployment unit to launch the wire-tethered electrodes.
Systems and methods for calibrating a tester that is used to calibrate conducted electrical weapons ("CEWs"). Providing a known magnitude of current for a calculated amount of time to a measurement capacitor stores a known amount of charge on the capacitor. The voltage corresponding to the known charge can be used to measure the amount of charge provided by a pulse of a stimulus signal while calibrating a CEW. A real-time clock may be used to ensure the accuracy of the time measurements over long time periods. Accurate measurement of resistors in a load circuit provides further tester accuracy.
A detector for detecting the removal and/or insertion of a firearm out of and/or into a holster. The detector may transmit a message each time the firearm is removed from the holster.

A system for determining a person's field of view with respect to captured data (e.g., recorded audiovisual data). A multi-camera capture system (e.g. bodycam, vehicular camera, stereoscopic, 360-degree captures system) records audiovisual data of an event. The field of capture of a capture system or a field of capture of captured data combined from multiple capture systems may be greater than the field of view of a person. Facial features (e.g. eyes, ears, nose, and jawlines) of the person may be detected from the captured data. Facial features may be used to determine the field of view of the person with respect to the captured data. Sensors that detect head orientation may be used to determine the field of view of the person with respect to captured data. The field of view of the person may be shown with respect to the captured data when the captured data is played back.
