Head cams must be getting popular; Dundee Polis are to get them now.

Great idea,im surprised it hasnt happened sooner,it would save a lot of time and money when people lie in court,and are then shown them saying and doing something else.

Ditto, they have been around for years in London. Great big things on their shoulders usually.

Yup, they had them in Hampshire too... fairly sure there was an ITV show about it. Cops with Cameras or something like that.

Only problem was because the exciting bits usually involved the cops running somewhere, or struggling with someone, the footage was quite unviewable.

A lot of forces have been using them for a while, great for collecting evidence of public order / domestic violence etc.

Head shakes a la Maggers with 'Ello, 'ello 'ello instead of the tutting. Where is he, he's not normally absent from camera threads?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Great for giving evidence in court, the defendant can waffle all they like, and the police just press 'play'.............ha ha ha



(shame they'll only get a community order)

Leeds have had them for some time and Chesterfield bike coppers have had them for several years.

Comedy Pilot's comment is spot on. Leeds found that not guilty please fell enormously.

We have them at our nick too! One user forgot to switch it off when he went for a pee!

I think that was their heads.

Dunno if I would want to wear a camera when out about about.
