I often wandered why they don't have cameras or something on their guns?Originally posted by vetran View Post
All the time though, I guess it might be good idea as it will help with clarifying what happened. Sounds like it might be harsh for the police though - presumably only relevant bits will be accessed and videos of them on the toilet etc will not start appearing on the web. -
Because then they would have to keep pointing their guns at people?Originally posted by MyUserName View PostWhile you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

It would fix stop & search being racially biased and I was tasered / assaulted a police office while unconscious events.
not that when caught red handed the Police would actually fire anyone.
Agree on the guns, I can't understand why the minute it comes off safety it doesn't start recording.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

The local litter wardens already have shoulder/chest mounted cameras. They wander around the highstreet issuing £75 fines for anyone dropping a fag end.
Is there a down side?Comment

With the advent of wearable technology such as google glass, everyone will be recording everything.
The police will then start recording to counteract public recordings / accusations
It seems a bit Orwellian & a concern is that everyone will start acting nice in public out of fear, which will lead to repressed resentment, which in turn leads to all sorts of mental tulip
