This study tests the effect of body‐worn cameras (BWCs) on stopped drivers’ perceptions of complying with police directives, obeying traffic laws, and cooperating with the police. A quasi‐randomized controlled trial was conducted with drivers stopped at routine traffic checkpoints. Drivers in the treatment group encountered police officers wearing BWCs, and drivers in the control group encountered police officers without BWCs. Surveys were administered after the stop. Findings suggest motorists exposed to BWC officers reported significantly stronger agreement with compliance with police directives, obedience toward traffic laws, and assistance with police duties. Further analysis indicates BWCs generate indirect impacts on specific citizen compliance mediated through improvements in procedural justice, as well as indirect impacts on general compliance and cooperation mediated through improvements in both police legitimacy and procedural justice.

警察佩戴的摄像头对公民合规与合作的影响：一项准随机对照试验的结果

这项研究测试了佩戴式摄像头（BWC）对停止的驾驶员是否遵守警察指令，遵守交通法规以及与警察合作的看法的影响。进行了一项准随机对照试验，驾驶员停在常规的交通检查站。治疗组的驾驶员遇到戴着BWC的警察，而对照组的驾驶员遇到没有BWC的警察。停止后进行调查。调查结果显示，与BWC军官接触的驾车者报告说，他们对遵守警察指令，遵守交通法规以及协助警察履行职责的同意大大增强。进一步的分析表明，《生物武器公约》对特定公民的依从性产生了间接影响，这是通过程序正义的改善而介导的，
