More than 160 Cambridgeshire police officers are now fitted with tiny cameras after the ‘Plebgate’ affair as part of a trial project with Cambridge University.

An officer attempted to recruit an activist in his 20s to become an informant in return for money – but was caught on camera, as the News reported.
