If they balk at meeting in person, at a police station or a bank office (both have good cameras), I wouldn't do business with them anyone, scammer or not.

Not a bad idea but I think the cousin police officer part might be an easy read for a scammer, especially if everyone starts using it... I have had people ask me if they can have a friend meet up with me to do a F2F on their behalf... that would be enough and much more believable... most of the time they actually did...
