The Minister for Justice, Heather Humphreys TD, has today published the General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill, following approval by Government earlier this week.
The Bill will provide a legal basis for the deployment and use of body-worn cameras (or ‘body cams’) by members of An Garda Síochána; and the extension of the circumstances in which Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) devices may be used by An Garda Síochána.
