All of them.

All that's left is to make them wear them.

A good idea... Citizens have phones with video capability and the police should too..Later when anything comes in question they will have it all right there.. Protects police and citizens...

Supposedly. In reality, the cops find ways around the use of car and body cameras. For instance, a suspect is taken out of car camera shot for his beating and the only recording is audio of a cop yelling "stop resisting" as he beats the crap out of him. In those circumstances, the camera actually reinforces the cop's assertion of the guy resisting arrest and so he was 'subdued'. It is absolutely better than nothing but still there are limitations.
