My mate said a lot is recorded now because of BWV.

We did a warrant for some department or other in the Slough area re human trafficking and prostitution. We had our briefing at Maidenhead police station and were told that this was being filmed by C4 and we, as the MOE (method of entry) and then search team were fitted out with cameras on our shoulders by the TV crew. None of us could remember which light on the cameras meant it was recording or on standby. Suffice to say whatever was recorded was littered with so many C words (mine) that they chose not to use any of it. I think the use now of body worn video should mean the filth play nicely but I won't hold my breath.

My anecdata from speaking to former colleagues is that the penalty for forgetting to turn on your camera is less than the penalty for threatening to re-arrange someone's face with an extended ASP.
