Rangatira Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/cameras-to-be-worn-by-rib-investigators-from-today/ 2 October 2023 , News Body worn cameras (BWCs) are being introduced by the RIB from 2 October 2023, primarily to protect the safety of our investigators, while also providing evidential benefits. A BWC is a small camera worn on the clothing or attached to a vest worn by an investigator, used to gather audio and video. Research shows these cameras, commonly worn by people in compliance roles, will be a deterrent against anti-social and obstructive behaviour such as verbal or physical abuse, which may occur while Investigators are making enquiries in the course of their work. A camera will only be activated where an Investigator has concerns for their safety and / or those around them, or in an investigative capacity to gather evidence. To ensure the correct operation of these devices, the RIB has completed a privacy impact assessment, implemented new Standard Operating Procedures, along with each Investigator receiving training.

Won't they have to get prior approval from all licensees before they use them? Or a rule change? I'm not sure there is any legislation that allows them to do this without prior approval.
