PUTRAJAYA: Policemen and other officers involved in enforcement may soon be equipped with body cameras to increase the level of transparency in law enforcement, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The prime minister said there have been situations where enforcement officers have been accused of being high-handed, and having the cameras will offer a truthful account.
