Wasn't there something about mandatory camera wearing being beneficial?

Haven't seen this one talked about much yet in the bloggosphere. Someone's parked on a one way street, gets his car hit by cops driving the wrong way down said street, gets out to ask what's up, and after checking to make sure there were no cameras on them, they attempt to arrest him for hitting their car.

A ruggedized google glass type camera seems like it might be handy for preventing such things, if police officers had to wear it all the time. I recall one study or another finding that being made to wear cameras dropped misconduct by massive quantities.
