Cops Wearing Cameras

The Metropolitan Police are to trial the wearing of body cameras starting today. In a move designed to improve transparency and reduce complaints, officers in Britain's largest force will begin wearing the cameras. The hope is that clarity will be provided, making controversies such as the "Plebgate" row and the Mark Duggan case less likely. However, some have expressed concerns relating to privacy - so a good example of the need to balance competing interests in law, even when it comes to law enforcement.There's a cracking interactive guide to the cameras here. Also a fab video of an arrest for GBH recorded using the cameras here - great lesson material!
