UK police headcam
New UK warning system, normal, medium & hot.
'Smile, you're on camera!' Police to get 'head-cams'
12.07.07
Police officers in the UK are to be given head-mouted video cameras to film incidents and arrests, the footage of which can then be used in evidence.
The Home Office is to give police £3 million to fund a national roll-out of head cameras after regional trials proved they were successful in fighting crime, the Government has announced.
The move, announced by Minister of State for Police, Crime, Security and Counter-Terrorism Tony McNulty, comes after an evaluation of a pilot project in Plymouth by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary.

I wonder if they have to carry that other contraption around with them. It sounds all warm and fuzzy, but will the courts properly deal with the crims that the cops catch, i'm not holding my breath.
Nah, matt--the islamists will be lopping their heads off and stealing the bloody cameras any day now.
lol kg, maybe they should call it death-cam.
No terrorist worth his/her salt will give a shit about it if their armed and in mid- mission.
Front Line police need serious stopping power to avoid that bomb button being pressed.
