Among the various loopholes that facilitate fraud, the absence of an independent watchdog is noteworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report includes an interview with Bruno Rodrigues Dias, a military police officer who outlines four ways in which storage on the cameras can be tampered with:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By deleting a video using the \u00b4remove\u00b4 button;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By failing to place the camera in the docking system (a device used to enter content into the system) for 90 days, after which period images are deleted automatically from the equipment;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By changing the date of recording to a time before the expiry date;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For high-level officers (for example, those with administrative roles), by stipulating that removal of the images was programmed when the video was classified by the officer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are further details of fraud and manipulation of body cameras in the report.&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tab.uol.com.br\/noticias\/redacao\/2023\/12\/20\/como-pms-de-sao-paulo-manipulam-o-sistema-de-cameras-corporais.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read in full<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second report shows that while Federal Government wants to extend the use of body cameras to the rest of the country, S\u00e3o Paulo is taking the opposite stance. Seven states currently have body camera technology and a further ten are in the processes of either testing or public bidding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the state of S\u00e3o Paulo, seen by other states as an example, is going in the opposite direction. The current governor, Tarc\u00edsio de Freitas\u00b4 administration is discouraging the use of this technology. The S\u00e3o Paulo government cut funding for body cameras by 35% in 2023, falling from R$152 million to R$97.6 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Tarc\u00edsio has stated that he will not increase the number of bodycams, arguing that he intends to prioritise police presence on the streets and police visibility.&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tab.uol.com.br\/noticias\/redacao\/2023\/12\/21\/policias-de-7-estados-tem-cameras-corporais-governo-quer-expandir-sistema.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read in full<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"tts__custom-position_bottom_fixed\" ><\/div>","excerpt":"<p>In conjunction with Conectas, UOL has released a series featuring two reports on the use of body cams on military police officers in S\u00e3o Paulo.
