Bristol Citizens' Panel survey - Body Worn Video Cameras at Taxi Ranks

Overview

A body-worn camera is any style of camera which is carried or fixed to clothing, capable of capturing both video and audio information.

If introduced, body-worn video cameras will be used for the following specified purposes:

•   To discourage abuse of taxi marshals, taxi drivers and members of the public are subjected.

•   To prevent, deter and detect crime, criminal damage, public disorder and nuisance.

•   To provide the Police, Council, and other authorised organisations with evidence upon which to take criminal and civil actions in the Courts.

•   To reduce the number of unfounded allegations being made against taxi marshals.

We want to know your views on the use of body-worn video cameras and whether you think they will improve your experiences of city centre taxi ranks.
