HK police to be fitted with video
IN a first for Asia, police in Hong Kong are to trial the use of video cameras attached to their uniforms to film exchanges with the public.
Officers will start to wear the small cameras by the end of the year, the force said.
Similar devices have been deployed in Britain and the United States, while Australian police are also proceeding with a trial.
"We will try out the body camera scheme by end of this year," a police spokeswoman said. "We are not targeting anyone at any public rallies but of course it could be a useful device for the police to deal with those who disturb public law and order at these rallies."
The devices would be used by trained and clearly identified police officers in order to enhance evidence gathering and public security, officials said.
