There's a petition up at Change.org for the "Mike Brown Law" asking the Obama administration to require all law enforcement to wear them: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/mike-brown-law-requires-all-state-county-and-local-police-wear-camera/8tlS5czf

According to an article from gizmodo, Ferguson MO is considering vest cameras for its officers in the future.

LAPD Sgt. Dan Gomez described a situation to the Daily News where just the act of seeing an officer wearing a camera seemed to immediately calm an antagonistic person. "All of a sudden, the whole thing started to de-escalate," he said. "They were able to deal with whatever the situation was, and no additional enforcement action was needed."
