In an effort to cut down on crime and to land a top spot on YouTube, some UK police officers will soon be sporting cameras on the sides of their helmets, according to ITweek.

The £1,400 cameras, each about the size of an AA battery, are strapped to the side of a helmet and can record full motion video. This is stored on a hard drive on the officer's utility belt and can be used in future legal action.

"The cameras will act as an excellent deterrent for any youngsters intent on causing trouble," said Detective Superintendent Richard Wood.

Actually won't the British thugs act up even more when they know they could end up e-famous on YouTube? I'm thinking a series called "Lads Gone Wild" won't be far off.
