Abstract:

The paper tends to describe the state of affairs with Body Worn Video (BWV) in Poland, trying to compare them with global trends and disputes on inviting new technologies to policing. This description will be accompanied with a presentation of soon-to-be initiated research on BWV, held at the Department of Criminalistics at the University of Warsaw. Speaker, being a part of this research team, will share his approach and methodology, as well as discuss preliminary results and considerable case studies. The presentation will also serve as a pretext for providing curious facts about a Polish doctoral process and conducting research in law in general.
