O uso de câmeras corporais na Segurança Pública: impactos e desafios na perspectiva brasileira

Abstract

Public security in Brazil faces structural challenges that undermine transparency and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. In this context, the use of body cameras by public security officers emerges as a crucial tool for enhancing oversight and accountability in police operations. This study aims to analyze the impacts and challenges of implementing this technology in Brazil, considering legal, operational, and ethical aspects. The research follows a qualitative and exploratory approach, based on bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and secondary data collection. National regulations are examined, with emphasis on Ordinance No. 648/2024 of the Ministry of Justice, as well as state-level experiences, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where body cameras have contributed to reducing police lethality and improving law enforcement practices. Challenges include high costs, institutional resistance, and concerns regarding privacy and data protection. The study concludes that, when properly regulated and implemented, body cameras represent a significant advancement in promoting transparency, safeguarding fundamental rights, and modernizing public security in Brazil.
