The use of helmet-mounted cameras by cyclists to report dangerous driving has been endorsed by a senior roads police officer. Andy Cox, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC)’s national lead on road crime reporting, said the police can't be everywhere, but the public can.
He said cyclists wearing such cameras can act as a deterrent to motorists and a tool for evidence gathering. He told the Telegraph he was "hugely supportive of the practice."
And while he didn't say all cyclists should have the cameras, he said: “It’s an individual choice and it’s a choice to report any footage that they may capture.
