This seems like a pretty logical step. I'm sure we've all seen cases where dash cameras on police cars help clear up ambiguity regard what really happened during a police stop. The same for normal officers could help solve a lot of problems, though obviously it would be inappropriate for undercover operations, some detective work, etc.

That said, one potential issue with this system is that it might lead to people being less willing to talk to the police. The "stop snitching" culture is already a major problem in many cities and if this measure reinforces it, it could end up being detrimental to the public good.
