It was hoped video would increase transparency in policing, but BBC has uncovered 150 reports of failings.

"The most serious allegations include:

Cases in seven forces where officers shared camera footage with colleagues or friends - either in person, via WhatsApp or on social media

Images of a naked person being shared between officers on email and cameras used to covertly record conversations

Footage being lost, deleted or not marked as evidence, including video, filmed by Bedfordshire Police, of a vulnerable woman alleging she had been raped by an inspector - the force later blamed an "administrative error"

Switching off cameras during incidents, for which some officers faced no sanctions - one force said an officer may have been "confused"
