UK Police Adopt 360degree Headset Cameras

Police patrolmen in the Haringey area of London have recently been issued with a new camera system that will enable them to record their surroundings at a full 360 degrees simultaneously.

The new device comprises of 8 small cameras, each about the size of a single AA battery, and can be activated at the flick of a switch.

Detective superintendent Richard Wood said: “Should anyone commit any offences the officers will instantly have the evidence to hand to help them apply for an ASBO or pursue criminal charges. If the cameras prove successful they will be deployed to other units within Haringey and could be used to assist police raids and officers working at football matches.”

Needless to say, at £1,800 a pop, the new units will be an expensive addition to Big Brothers arsenal, and no doubt subjected to the odd misplaced pint glass or two.
