It will allow for this to be part of the overall system. My understanding is that, at the moment, if gardaí are asking for dashcam footage from a separate car, such footage would have to be specific to a case for which they are seeking information or data in the same way as applies with CCTV, automatic number plate recognition, ANPR, or anything else. The new Garda cars have this technology built in but the older ones do not. The intention is that as we update the fleet and invest in it, all Garda cars will have it.
