Legal Committee Raises Concerns Over Police Body and Vehicle Cameras

The House Legal Committee has begun the article-by-article discussion of the bill concerning the placement of cameras on police uniforms and vehicles in Cyprus. AKEL MP Andreas Pasourtidis expressed concerns regarding the potential for abusive use of the collected material, access to it, the protection of personal data, and the guarantee of human rights. He requested that the Ministry of Justice and relevant authorities respond to these issues to ensure that the new tool will enhance policing and citizen protection without violating their rights.
