London’s police force will start testing smartphone-sized wearable cameras today, deploying 500 of the devices to record a police-eye view of the city. The Metropolitan Police service is hopeful that the cameras, clipped onto officers’ chests, will aid evidence gathering, said James Hulme, a spokesman for the Met.
The UK is no stranger to surveillance. The country had deployed as many as 5.9 million closed-circuit TV cameras as of last July, according to a survey by the British Security Industry Authority. That’s about one camera for every 11 people

Based on my knowledge of how the Edmonton Police Service uses their body cameras, these won't be on 24x7. The officers have control on when to turn them on/off.
Oh, no good, I'm big time for on all the time, that would be great.
