Beijing, November 18 (Xinhua) — Public security agencies across China have equipped active police officers with more than 1.3 million bodycams, which record the entire law enforcement process, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) announced on Monday.
In recent years, China's public security organs have been actively promoting the implementation of a recording mechanism for the entire law enforcement process, implementing audio-visual recording and digital surveillance at all stages of case handling, from application intake and on-site enforcement to interrogations and surveys.
A system must be established to monitor the entire process of law enforcement and implement retrospective management, said Chen Min, Deputy Director of the MBP's Legislation Bureau, explaining that when officers conduct law enforcement activities on the spot, such as receiving and processing police reports, issuing punishments on the spot, or inspecting crime scenes, they must wear body cameras in accordance with regulations, recording audio and video throughout the process.
In accordance with established regulations, the activities of police officers and relevant personnel in physical law enforcement and case processing centers are also recorded using video surveillance equipment, which covers all corners of the premises and operates 24 hours a day, thereby effectively standardizing law enforcement activities and the case processing process.
Throughout the criminal interrogation process, real-time audiovisual recording is a strict requirement to regulate the activities of police officers and protect the rights of criminal suspects.
“The establishment of a mechanism for recording the entire law enforcement process has played an important role in standardizing law enforcement activities, increasing the efficiency of case processing, and ensuring the legality of police officers in carrying out their duties, as well as in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens,” Chen Min concluded. -0-
