In early May 2014, London’s Metropolitan Police announced it would be spending almost £1 million on a trial of 500 body-worn video surveillance cameras for police officers in 10 of London’s boroughs. The move comes after several high-profile cases in recent years calling into question the integrity and transparency of police officer’s actions – for example with the shooting of Mark Duggan (which later sparked the London riots of 2011).
