DUTERTE: BUDGET NANG CHR, IBILI NALANG NANG MGA SECURITY BODY CAMERAS PARA SA MGA PULIS

President Rodrigo Duterte has suggested using the budget taken away from the Commission on Human Rights to buy body cameras for policemen as his crackdown on illegal drugs and crime faces intense public scrutiny following the successive deaths of teenagers.

Duterte believes that buying sophisticated body cameras can address allegations that policemen are involved in abusive practices.

“If you do not want to return the budget to the CHR, why don’t you invest the money to buy equipment for the police, for all policemen in the Philippines?” the president said in a speech delivered in Davao City on Saturday. 

“It’s about 600 million, and it can buy it all – place cameras on them 24 hours a day…These are state-of-the-art and are just as big as clothing buttons,” he added.

Duterte said the placing of body cameras should be done without violating the privacy of government troopers.

“Just don’t invade the privacy of the soldiers and the policemen. But you are free to embed and place cameras on the body of the law enforcers whenever they go out to operate because the Philippines is a narco-state already,” the president said.
