Fawad Chaudhary advised “Moreover, every police station should record the comments of visitors on the application to give a good analysis of that station.”
It is pertinent to mention that, Hong Kong Police in the year 2017 decided to increase the use of body-worn video cameras.
By 2021, every front line uniformed police officer will be equipped with one.
Security Undersecretary of Hong Kong John Lee Ka-chiu said the use of body cameras can help with investigations, relevant prosecution work and trials.
He said that “90 per cent of the cases in 2016, when the camera was on, the subjects stopped over-reactive behavior and became calm when being video-filmed – it reduced confrontations.”
