Camere bodycam pentru polițiștii locali din Olt. Filmările vor putea constitui probe

Local police in Slatina have begun using body cameras for their operations, which can serve as evidence in court. The introduction of these devices follows recent legislative changes and aims to document interventions, protect officers, and deter corruption. Officers are required to activate the cameras during specific interactions, such as when checking identification or addressing offenses. The local police chief emphasized that the cameras enhance accountability and professionalism, helping to rebuild public trust. The investment for this initiative was approximately 300,000 lei, covering cameras and necessary equipment. Training for officers on using the devices has been ongoing, ensuring that recordings cannot be deleted by the users.
