They'd be all over this:

Originally posted by vetran View Postindeed but if it can't be done wirelessly for security reasons then a USB stick with encrypted recordings & status makes sense. Initialise stick at station so you know last recording, insert in car and it downloads from last recording or errors because it hasn't been downloaded recently and won't go onto stick. Sergeant comes out and sticks the usb hard drive in, he nags the last driver for not downloading.

The courts could mandate such tests to make the Police beyond reproach.

Originally posted by vetran View Postshould be locked in a safe built into the car and keys kept with the garage staff. Random audits checking the video & audio. That way there is no suggestion of tampering by Police. Diagnostic switch at on / off and automatic reporting would make sure you can't go out with a faulty vehicle.
I assumed the uploads were automatic when the cars returned? With 240gb SSDs at £50 it should be possible to store days or weeks of video in the car. Take a 64GB usb drive in to the station when you finish your shift.
Its a no brainer.

No doubt in a lot of these shooting cases, the footage would go missing or some technical fault prevented it being recorded...
You'd probably want it doing live streaming to a remote location with some kind of local storage for backup. Circumventing would require a greater level of premeditation than is apparent in many of these incidents. Alternatively IAB could have drones situated to be able to rapidly respond to any officer report that they're checking out a situation and spy on them?

Isn't that the logic the Govt. used for the "snoopers charter" that is being shot down (pun intended)
