Montreal Union Wants a Camera On Every Policeman's Uniform

Posted by timothy on from the undercover-eh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Montreal Policemen's Brotherhood is proposing that officers be equipped with uniform-mounted cameras that can be used to record various interactions. The union says in other jurisdictions where police officers are equipped with point-of-view cameras, the use of force by officers and assaults on officers drops by as much as 60%. One system is currently being tested in Edmonton, Alberta."

    It will reduce assaults on police officers? Maybe it will also reduce assaults by police officers too.
