Saxony-Anhalt: Advice on body cameras and electronic ankle bracelets

Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - The state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt will discuss changes to the law on public safety and order on Tuesday. The black-red-yellow coalition wants to enable the police to use body cameras and electronic ankle bracelets. With the video cameras, police officers should be better protected against attacks during operations. In addition, they may be able to provide material to clarify incidents. The bodycam attached to the upper body permanently overwrites the recorded sequences without saving them. Only when the officer activates the video function are sequences retroactive and the subsequent events secured.

In addition, so-called section controls should be possible with the Section Control speed monitoring system. They do not measure the speed of a vehicle at a specific point, but the average speed within a section over several measuring points.

In addition, consultations on the Shop Opening Hours Act and the Child Support Act are on the agenda. The state parliament session begins on Tuesday at 2 p.m.
