Armed police in London will soon be wearing body cameras when they respond to incidents. This is to ensuregreater transparency and reduce speculation when police shoot people. The move came in response to the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old Londoner in North London in 2011. London police stated that its officers wereattempting to arrest the man on suspicion of planning an attack, and that he was in possession of a handgun. The killing led to widespread clashes with the police and escalated into riots across London and other cities. The man's family and friends campaigned for years claiming he was unlawfully killed. A public inquiry decided on January the 8th that the killing was lawful.

倫敦武警即將配置隨身相機(jī)執(zhí)行任務(wù)。這樣能夠保證警察在射擊罪犯時(shí)更加透明，并減少人們對(duì)事件的猜疑。2011年警察在北倫敦槍擊了一名29歲倫敦人，針對(duì)此事件，警方做出了以上決定。倫敦警方稱這名男子因涉嫌預(yù)謀一場(chǎng)襲擊事件而正在遭到追捕，男子還持有一只手槍。此次槍殺事件導(dǎo)致民眾與警方發(fā)生了大規(guī)模沖突，在倫敦全境以及其它城市升級(jí)成了暴亂活動(dòng)。這名男子的家人和朋友對(duì)此進(jìn)行了多年抗議，并稱他遭到了非法殺害。1月8日，公開調(diào)查小組認(rèn)定這是一次合法槍殺。

London's senior police officials hope the body cameras will provide greater clarity and proof surrounding any future shootings. The head of the police pointed out that it was relatively rare for London police officers to open fire. Regular police officers patrolling the streets do not carry guns, unlike police in many cities around the world. Between 2010 and 2012, there were 12,721 times when armed police responded to incidents. Shots were fired on just four occasions. Neil Basu, head of the police's specialist firearms unit, said: "These are professional officers who want to be believed and want the public to trust them. If [wearing body cameras is] what it takes, then that is what they will do."

倫敦高級(jí)督察希望隨身相機(jī)能夠使得未來的槍擊案件變得更加透明，并能夠?yàn)榇颂峁└嘧C據(jù)。警察局長指出，對(duì)于倫敦警方而言，開槍相對(duì)來說實(shí)屬罕見。不像其他國家的有些城市那樣，倫敦警察在巡街時(shí)是不戴槍支的。2010到2012年間，武警執(zhí)行了1萬2721起任務(wù)。但只開了4次槍。倫敦武警部隊(duì)指揮官尼爾·巴蘇稱：“有許多警官都希望能夠得到信任，他們希望公眾能夠相信他們，如果真的需要攜帶隨身相機(jī)的話，那么他們將選擇這樣做。”
