:00:00. > :00:16.Good evening. The BBC understands that within weeks up to 500
:00:17. > :00:22.Metropolitan Police officers will be issued with body`worn cameras. The
:00:23. > :00:25.cameras will film them at work, recording their interactions with
:00:26. > :00:28.the public and criminal suspects. But concern has already been

:00:42. > :00:44.On the high Street in Sutton in south`west London, from more than a

:01:33. > :01:38.in Luton, say they should be on all the time. It is about the simple
:01:39. > :01:42.proposition that all police officers in all interactions with the public
:01:43. > :01:48.will wear body worn cameras and will be recording. If you have cameras
:01:49. > :01:52.with real`time information, you will have less rumours and less things
:01:53. > :01:58.blowing up in the community. It has to be the way to go. You do not want
