High court sets safeguards for broken CCTV at police stations
Original: CCTV at police stations: HC lays down safeguards when gadget is non-functional | Hindustan Times
A high court has issued guidelines on the steps authorities must take when CCTV cameras at police stations are not working. The ruling addresses a recurring problem in custody cases, where the absence of functioning surveillance footage makes it difficult to verify what happens to people in detention. Courts have repeatedly pushed for mandatory camera coverage at police stations as a safeguard against custodial abuse.
Why now: The court's new safeguards matter because non-functional CCTV has repeatedly undermined accountability in custody and arrest cases.
