This factsheet gives information about Body-worn video (BWV) in NSW. BWV is a portable camera worn by some police to record their interactions with the public.
Police do not need your consent to start recording. But:
- the use of BWV should be obvious
- police should tell you that you are being recorded before, or as soon as possible after, the recording starts.
- If you don’t want the police to use BWV, the police officer should make a note of this.
