Not my idea, but looks like a good one to me!
MAKE RIOT COPS WEAR FOOTIE STYLE NUMBERS20th April 2009
By Josh LaytonCAMPAIGNERS are demanding riot cops have numbers on their uniforms like footballers to identify them.
The calls were made amid mounting claims of brutality at the London G20 rally, where officers hid shoulder ID.
Lawyers for the Camp for Climate Action condemned “violent” police tactics.
One cop seen lashing out at protestor Nicola Fisher, 35, outside the Bank of England had no badge number.
Neither had an officer seen hitting newspaper vendor Ian Tomlinson, 47, shortly before he died.
The CCA claimed they had been flooded with allegations of brutality, including a baton-charge of a peaceful protest camp.
Their report, being sent to MPs, said: “The failure to wear identification should be treated as a serious disciplinary matter.
"It is vital that police officers in riot gear have their ID on their fronts and backs at all times in extra large font so it is clearly visible.”
