Absolutely agree on both counts. Holding public office is a privilege that rightly should come with a different threshold of privacy/transparency. And yes, no nation is taking the issue of police conduct seriously if it's not even recording wrongful death consistently and reliably. Some colleagues ran a trial on body cameras and found improved metrics, particularly around stop-and-search. The success rate of stop and search increased, officers reported feeling safer. They also noted an increase in allegations but I don't think dug into that as much as they wanted to (it may be an area where the behaviour feedback loop was slow enough to need a longer study duration). http://www.behaviouralinsights.co.uk/trial-results/measuring-the-impact-of-body-worn-video-cameras-on-police-behaviour-and-criminal-justice-outcomes/ http://www.behaviouralinsights.co.uk/trial-results/measuring...
