LENEXA, Kan., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICOP) (NYSE:ICOP), an industry-leading company engaged in advancing digital surveillance solutions, today announced that the Pineville Police Department in Louisiana has chosen to equip its patrol fleet with the ICOP Model 20/20(R). Chief Russell Murdock of the Pineville Police Department remarked that the video unit has far exceeded the Department's expectations. "We have been particularly impressed with the system's auto-record feature. Even when outside of the patrol car, an officer can remotely activate the ICOP Model 20/20 to immediately begin capturing high quality audio and video at a scene simply by speaking into the wireless microphone. This helps to ensure that, irrespective of the nature of the incident or how it unfolds, we have a full and accurate account of the event that is nearly impossible to dispute." Video, when properly presented as evidence in a court of law, is fast winning regard among prosecutors as an invaluable tool to prove beyond any reasonable doubt the guilt or liability of defendants. Moreover, pervasive use of video in the courts is promoting a number of powerful ancillary benefits including reduced case loads, lessened trial times and material cost savings for DA offices -- particularly for those cases involving DUIs, traffic violations, vehicle pursuits, assaults on officers, narcotics enforcement, domestic violence and defense of civil litigation against law enforcement officers. According to a study conducted in collaboration with the National District Attorney's Association (NDAA) and the American Prosecutors Research Institute (APRI), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) found that of the prosecutors surveyed, 91% have used video evidence captured from in-car cameras. Prosecutors reported that "the presence of video enhances their ability to obtain convictions and increases the number of guilty pleas prior to going to trial. 58% reported a reduction in the time they actually spent in court."
