My next question is for the Policing Authority. Can the representatives justify public health as the primary purpose of body-worn cameras? My concern is around the privacy of people who might be experiencing psychosis or struggling with addiction, or those in the homeless sector, all of whom fall under the umbrella of public health. Consider also the situation currently with Covid, for example, where large numbers or gatherings of people together and protests are seen as a public health issue. Will the representatives comment on what would justify a public health issue as a reason to use body-worn cameras?
