Dear PAO,

While reading the news, I came across the recently released Rules by the Supreme Court regarding the use of body-worn cameras by the authorities. I recognize the big help that this development can provide in ensuring that arrests and searches are lawful and in order. However, as a private citizen, I am worried about the possible violation of privacy, especially as regards searching homes, since the recordings could be accessed by any one and used for other purposes. I hope you can enlighten us on the matter.

Emdee

To appease your worries, allow us to refer you to the pertinent part of the Rules you mentioned.
