To Be Filed Under: You Can't Make This Shit Up: UK Police to get 'head-cams'


"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."

As ridiculous as this sounds, they'd be better served making the lens itself innocuous. Hidden cameras would catch a criminal acting like a criminal and not someone auditioning for the opening night of Hamlet.
