More details from petition creator
Increasing surveillance in police stations is having a positive effect on the culture, many misdeeds that police used to get away with are now impossible.
However, in the US police cars are routinely equipped with several cameras; in this age of computers it would be easy to monitor individual pedestrian police personnel in a similar manner as well.
Making such material available as a matter of course to all interested parties [defence lawyers, police complaints authorities, etc] plus devoting resources to random monitoring, could make our police forces a respectable institution rather than the cart of rotten apples currently seen
