Homo Digitalis talks to the newspaper Kathimerini about the body-worn cameras of the Hellenic Police and our related actions

The upgrade of the Police surveillance equipment is expected to be completed in the near future, as the tender for the supply of cameras has ended.

These are about 400 24-hour cameras to be installed on patrol cars, as well as 2,000 “wearable” cameras, i.e. integrated into the uniforms of police officers, which will be able to record at will and transmit live images to the operations centre using telecommunications networks.

Homo Digitalis spoke to Kathimerini and journalist Elvira Krithari about our actions together with Reporters United & The Press Project regarding the use of cameras from 2020 & 2021 and the investigation conducted by the Data Protection Authority since then. Our team was represented by Eleftherios Chelioudakis

We would like to thank the journalist for her interest in our actions! You can read her article here.
