According to the supermarket, the bodycam on the shop floor differs from the standard bodycams used by the police and NS. There, the camera records images that can later be used as evidence in court. The bodycam Dirk van den Broek will use is a small camera with a screen on which misbehaving customers will see themselves.
If a difficult customer threatens to create an unsafe situation, the employee can turn on the bodycam and confront the customer with the images. According to Dirk, experiences in the industry show that this can have a de-escalating effect. As with other cameras in the store, images and sound are only stored and used when necessary, the supermarket said.
Dirk already tested the bodycams last year. The company will start using the cameras in 40 stores. “We have always used camera surveillance in the stores for prevention,” said director Dirk van den Broek. “For us, the body cameras are an addition to the workplace to quickly de-escalate threatening situations. Because every incident is one too many for our colleagues and customers.”

My battery is low and it's getting dark." These haunting words, sent from 225 million miles across the void, became the poignant farewell of NASA's Opportunity rover—affectionately known as Oppy—before it fell silent forever. Launched in 2003 and landing on Mars on January 25, 2004, Opportunity was designed for a modest 90-day (90-sol) mission to search for signs of ancient water. Instead, this plucky little solar-powered explorer defied every expectation, outlasting its warranty by a staggering factor of 55, roaming the Red Planet for nearly 15 Earth years (5,498 days / 5,352 sols). It traversed over 45 kilometers (28 miles), survived brutal dust storms, climbed crater rims, and delivered groundbreaking discoveries: definitive evidence of past liquid water, minerals formed in water, and hints that parts of ancient Mars could have supported microbial life.But in June 2018, a massive planet-encircling dust storm engulfed Mars, blocking sunlight for months and starving Oppy's solar ...
