Pieces of evidence obtained by law enforcers who did not use body-worn cameras or alternative devices, which can record both video and audio, in the service of search warrants are “inadmissible for the prosecution of the offense for which the search warrant was applied.”
Persons who are subjects of search or arrest warrants should be informed that the enforcements of the warrants are being recorded from the start of the operation until terminated.
In case death results in the implementation of the search warrant, “an incident report detailing the implementation of the search, the reasons why such death occurred, the result of related inquest proceedings, if any including possibly those against the officer or officers causing the death together with other relevant documents shall likewise be submitted” to the court which issued the warrant.
