Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo said the promulgation of rules on the use of body cameras by the police in the service of search and arrest warrants “is a top priority in our agenda.”

Last Sunday, May 9, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said it has started finalizing the protocol for the use of body cameras in police operations to avoid legal technicalities particularly in the prosecution of suspected criminals.
