Milestones

We believe that some people are wrongly arrested, accused and convicted due to faulty evidence provided by police whilst others are correctly arrested and accused but not convicted due to a lack of evidence. Make it mandatory to fit all police cars with dashcams to ensure evidence is recorded.

Not all police cars are fitted with cameras, and we believe that this is a missed opportunity to collect evidence to support convictions and evidence gathering. We think it could also be helpful in cases where police have driven dangerously, and may make police drive better, give better coverage of any incidents that do happen and prevent mishaps.
