There were videos of police punching angry residents, handcuffing a distraught 20-year-old bicyclist and leading away a man, his face covered in blood.  In two weeks, with the help of a $250,000 federal grant, the Police Department will begin equipping some officers with wearable cameras in a pilot program.  Initially the small, cigar-shaped cameras will be issued to 50 plainclothes officers who execute search warrants and parole checks and who might enter people's homes.  Suhr contends that if a camera - and not one from the cell phone of a bystander - had been present at Valencia Gardens, it would have recorded what really happened: A man riding his bike on a sidewalk started to fight when a plainclothes officer tried to stop him, \"the guy biting the officer as soon as he touched him.\"  BART Deputy Chief of Police Benson Fairow says that when the transit agency began to roll out video cameras last year after two fatal police shootings, \"there was a little apprehension\" among officers.  SFPD Commander Mikail Ali, whom Suhr calls his \"gadget guy,\" says that after the short pilot program, the plan is to give cameras to traffic control officers.  Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who has criticized the police for giving cursory or nonexistent identification when serving search warrants in the past, is behind the concept.  Reducing complaintsIn fact, a news story this year says that studies by a criminologist at the University of Cambridge show that when cameras are in use, there is a decrease in citizen complaints against officers as well as a reduction in the use of force by the police.  Adachi wonders if officers would be required to tell subjects that a video camera is running.","width":300,"image":"http://ww3.hdnux.com/photos/24/74/44/5490958/3/200x200.jpg","id":"httpwwwsfgatecombayareaneviusarticleSFpoliceseekcamerastocapturewholepicture4997404php"}}
