IMHO all police agencies should be required to wear these, and the appropriate privacy protections put in place.

Excerpt from the article:
Police chiefs who support body-cam technology say that both officers and citizens behave better while being recorded and that with the cameras, complaints against officers have declined, with video often ? but not always ? supporting the officers' sides of the story.
Aden, who helped compile the federally commissioned report, told The Times that the number of sustained complaints against his officers had gone down.
"But we've found other [complaints] that really have been valid," he said. "We've actually had terminations because of video."
