body-worn cameras

Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are small recording devices that law enforcement officers wear on their uniforms. They capture video and audio of interactions between police and the public, providing a transparent account of events. BWCs aim to promote accountability, enhance evidence collection, and improve community relations. The recorded footage can be used in investigations, court proceedings, and training. While they offer benefits like increased transparency, they also raise concerns about privacy and data management, making their use a topic of ongoing discussion in many communities.
