"POLICE in Scotland should be equipped with video recorders to film the victims and suspected perpetrators of crimes, a senior officer has told The Scotsman.
Malcolm Dickson, the deputy chief constable of Lothian and Borders Police, wants bobbies on the beat to be equipped with a digital camera to gather evidence at crime scenes.
He said the use of cameras would provide courts with objective and unequivocal evidence, unlike under the present system, where police have to give evidence in trials based on hastily written notes, often made months earlier. "
