The government of Zimbabwe is mulling plans to use police body cameras to record police operations.
This was revealed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Nick Mangwana who Tweeted saying:
Government is considering the use of police body cams (body camera). This will be used to film police operations. This will help change both the behaviour of suspects and that of officers during operations. There are friendly countries happy to support the country in this.
This comes when state police are being accused of using exercise force on citizens, particularly members of the opposition MDC.
Meanwhile, police have on a number of denied the allegations saying that a third force was impersonating state security in a bid to soil the government’s image.
How about paying the guys a livable salary before doing doozy deals for cameras
Will the footage be released or will we be told that it was the third force and therefore ZRP do not have any footage?
