The whole problem of police misconduct is eventually going to be solved by dirt cheap hidden cameras/microphones worn on-body that can record eight hours plus on a battery charge.
When enough people get fed up and start protesting in court with the video of what REALLY happened, things will change.
We're barely there now. A factory rebuilt RCA Lyra 2780 cost me $250 - it's a portable video recorder half the size of a paperback book with a 4" screen and 20gig hard disk. I'm scoring the hidden camera and mike next. All told I'll be into it for about $350.
When that gets cheaper, smaller and more "turnkey"...you've got the ultimate bad-cop-getter.
