Title: Police to Use UAS Camera Surveillance for Malmö Street Party
Date: August 31, 2023
Malmö, Sweden – In an effort to enhance security and prevent crime during the upcoming NGBG street party, the police in Malmö have announced that they will be implementing camera surveillance with the assistance of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The surveillance will take place between September 2 and 3, 2023.
The decision to use UAS camera monitoring has been made to ensure public order and security, as well as to detect and prevent disturbances that may occur during the street party. The targeted areas for surveillance include Norra Grängesbergatan, Norbergsgatan, and Västanforsgatan in Malmö.
Camera surveillance with UAS grants the police the authority to monitor a location without obtaining explicit permission, particularly if there is a significant risk of serious crimes. The primary objective of the surveillance is to deter, prevent, and detect criminal activities. Additionally, the recorded footage may be employed as evidence in investigations and legal proceedings where there are no witnesses to an incident.
It is important to note that the camera operator must adhere to strict regulations and cannot film within private residences or infringe upon individuals’ privacy. The surveillance is strictly limited to public spaces.
The implementation of UAS camera surveillance represents a proactive approach by the Malmö Police to maintain public safety and ensure a smooth and secure environment for the NGBG street party.
For further information about how the police handle personal data, interested parties are encouraged to contact the relevant authorities.
