Audio-visual recordings
Public transport: incidents can be filmed by agents
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Until June 30, 2024, sworn agents of public carriers (buses, trains...) can experimentally make audiovisual recordings of their interventions by means of individual cameras when an incident occurs. The purpose of these recordings is to prevent incidents, to record violations and to enable the perpetrators to be prosecuted, and to train the officers themselves. A decree adopted pursuant to the Law on Mobility Guidance was published in Official Journal May 2, 2021.
The sworn transport services officer may trigger registration when:
- the transport user exhibits, physically or verbally, threatening, aggressive or violent behavior, or is likely to become so;
- the transport user requests it;
- the number of sworn agents present is manifestly lower than the number of persons involved or likely to be involved;
- the intervention takes place in a place which, by its configuration, presents a particular risk of harm to persons or property.
The camera is visibly worn by the agent, and a specific visual signal indicates whether the camera is recording. The staff member must orally inform them that he is registering. This information may be deferred when the situation gives rise to a fear of an immediate risk to the life or integrity of a person.
Audiovisual recordings, except where they are used in judicial, administrative or disciplinary proceedings, shall be erased after six months.
FYI
This experiment follows a first experiment by the police, municipal police and internal security services agents of the RATP and the SNCF. It will be subject to a review of its implementation within three years of its entry into force, in order to assess the appropriateness of maintaining this measure.
