Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I mean, police have a lot of privileged access to various locations. If they think that there's an emergency, they can enter your house, say. I think that I'd want to have the technical ability to have footage of that deleted.
EDIT: Also, while I can understand not wanting deletion to be available to an individual officer if the camera is acting as a check on them, I don't think that the main reason that police carry cameras is as a check on police. I think that it's partly because people make false claims about police officers (e.g. "you planted those drugs on me!") and if there's video footage, that can disprove that. I think that part of it is gathering evidence. And I think that part of it is as a check on procedure, to figure out how things go wrong.
