well with stats like that it kinda proves the need for all police to wear cameras while on duty....
amazing what a difference it makes when they know they are being watched and will have to answer for their actions

They being the officers and the public they are dealing with, correct?
The only negative is I assume the personality types that were drawn to the job for the wrong aspects, will probably seek to get into undercover/plain clothes units to maintain their behaviour. Which could end up with some seriously out of control smaller units.

It should be a global policy for all police, as surveillance is becoming an inevitable part of all our lives.
You appear to be one of those speculative optimists.
But from a more pessimistic point of view, policemen with cameras that eventually become real-time connected to the internet could be the beginning of a global police state.
