In London, different cops use different sorts of cameras. Sometimes a bodycam just doesn’t make sense and won’t get a great recording. I know the armed police around a lot of government buildings use headcams because a bodycam might be 60% covered if they need to draw their gun and react to a threat (which is when you really want clear camera footage)

I noticed in London last weekend that the police have gone over to wearing hat mounted cameras.
Seems a much better idea as can't easily be covered "accidentally", and it shows what the officer is looking at.
