We should put such suggestions (and indeed so should any other jurisdiction) on a statutory footing if we are serious about them. This means, minimally—

1. use of bodycams

2. to record the furnishing of identity

3. when requested

should be required before any power exercisable only by police may be used (self defence, arrests of persons in flagrante murdering people and so on are I think not really limited to police), and no offence of obstruction &c. should be committed if the requirement above is not met.




Body cams don't feel practical for undercover police. Too easily seen if they have a good view.
