The head of Scotland Yard wants everyone in the UK to install surveillance cameras at eye height

Every home. Every business. At eye height. "To help solve crime." I can understand that lots of surveillance footage might be of the top of people's heads, but this is ridiculous.

Does anyone know if it's illegal to wear a baseball cap in the UK filled with IR LEDs?
