Abstract

Furthermore, a brief historical digression will be made, passing through dictatorial times and the way Military Police of the state of São Paulo behaved, being followed by the current dilemmas from the use of Body-Worn Cameras (BWC). In addition, to talk about the scope of the study, a technical analysis of the Corporation will be made, dealing with the pros and cons of the introduction of new video surveillance technologies in the ostensible policing activity. Besides that, the study will face the absence of federal and state regulation in relation to BWC.

Some practical cases will be addressed, passing through fateful events such as the incident that killed George Floyd, in Minneapolis, United States, in 2020
