To ensure the integrity of the images, if the device is turned off during an action, there will be mechanisms that will allow automatic reactivation of the equipment
The president of the Federal Supreme Court (), endured the project of the governor of São Paulo, which implements the use of body cameras by the Military Police. One of the main changes in the plan is that the recordings will not be continuous, allowing police to activate devices only in specific situations, such as operations and approaches. Cameras can be called in different ways: by the police themselves, the Military Police Operations Center or automatically via Bluetooth, when an agent is less than ten meters from an occurrence. To ensure the integrity of the images, if the camera is turned off during an action, there will be mechanisms that will allow automatic reactivation of the equipment.
The new plan also provides an increase in the number of cameras, from 12,000 to 15,000, covering all battalions considered priority. These changes were the result of a dialogue between the São Paulo government and the State Public Defender’s Office, which occurred after conciliation hearings organized by the Supreme Court. The supervision of compliance with the agreement will be in charge of the 11th Public Finance Court of São Paulo.
Barroso stressed that if there is significant non -compliance with the established clauses, the Supreme Court may take intervention measures. The purpose of the agreement is to find a balance between the freedom of action of public administration and the protection of fundamental rights, especially for those who are in situations of vulnerability, according to the minister.
