Steve Watt: Police Association President on the continued exploration of giving body cameras to police

Privacy issues are still points of contention as Police take the next step towards putting body cameras on officers.   Police have begun researching potential cameras but are yet to secure funding or Cabinet approval.   The Privacy Commissioner says it could have a chilling effect on people's civil rights, but they could still be safely implemented.   Police Association President Steve Watt told Kerre Woodham New Zealand, for want of a better term, is already a surveilled state.   He says almost every supermarket and street already has CCTV, so he struggles somewhat with the privacy issues.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
