Acting Justice Minister Simon Harris has introduced new legislation in the Dáil that will see gardaí wearing ‘bodycams’ for the first time.
This includes Garda dogs too, with specific mention in the Garda Siochána Recording Devices Bill 2022 to ‘Garda canines’ being equipped with small cameras.
The provisions are part of the new bill that also gives powers to Garda officers to seize third party CCTV footage from shops and offices to help with investigations.
