Activation
Objection to activation
The public do not need to consent to be being recorded and officers will not routinely deactivate if an objection is raised. However, if the officer believes BWV is unnecessarily escalating the encounter, they can apply their judgement and decide to deactivate. The officer may decide to reactivate BWV should circumstances change.
Requests for activation
If a member of the public requests that an interaction is recorded, the officer should do so unless there is an overriding reason not to.
