An Auckland community leader says mandatory police body cameras would help everyone.
David Letele is behind a petition calling for the change - a petition that's garnered nearly 10,000 signatures so far.
A 45 year-old man died a week ago at Auckland's 艑rere Point, after he and another person fled police.
Faasala Samu Matue lost consciousness after being tasered and pepper-sprayed - when he threatened police and bit an officer鈥檚 hand.
Letele says body cameras are a no-brainer.
"These body cams - it's not just for the safety and accountability for the public, but it also keeps the police safe."
