Police in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack are reportedly avoiding the use of body cams, which were introduced to ensure transparency during interactions with complainants. Out of the 32 police stations provided with these cameras following the Bharatpur incident, none are currently using them. Allegations suggest that personnel fear being recorded while misbehaving with the public. Additionally, 240 body cams given to traffic police in 2017-18 are also defunct. While DCP Jagmohan Meena claims high-quality CCTV cameras have reduced the necessity of body cams, the lack of individual accountability remains a concern. https://sambad.in/metro/tips-for-using-body-cams-12006531 #creator program
