Eighteen civil society organizations expressed concern last week over a tender by the S\u00e3o Paulo Military Police that alters the body camera program in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo. According to human rights and public security organizations, the body camera project, implemented by the Military Police in 2020, represented an important step in the professionalisation of the force by increasing transparency, protecting officers from false accusations, producing evidence for the justice system, and reducing levels of lethal force.
