There is a third eye, and it is not just on the cricket field but now on our roads, too. A report in this paper stated that cops are soon to be outfitted with body cameras. They will be wearing the hi-tech devices and these would relay goings on to the traffic headquarters.

These have been brought in primarily to increase transparency and reduce confrontations between cops and citizens. The report stated that the traffic department had procured at least 1,350 such devices for its staff to be used on city roads. This is a bid to instil more discipline on our roads too and what this simply means is that there are going to be more eyes on the road.
