How and When Police Officers Will Use Body Cameras (VIDEO)

The President of the Police Association (SAK), Angelos Nikolaou, presented the key provisions of the revised bill on the use of body cameras by the Police. The cameras will be able to be used by officers in uniform or plainclothes, as well as in vehicles, while performing their duties, but not continuously. Activation will be based on specific instructions and orders. The use of cameras is considered a tool to protect police officers from unfounded allegations and for self-improvement. There will be a visual indication so that citizens know they are being recorded, while there will be cases where activation is not possible. The material will be subject to legal processing in accordance with data protection legislation.
