Not a Laughing Matter...
Gardaí should carry cameras with them to take photographs of suspects as well as their names and addresses, Justice Minister Michael McDowell said today.
Mr McDowell also told the Oireachtas Justice Committee that he envisaged a time when patrol cars carried computers and CCTV cameras are installed in every garda station.
The minister was discussing the Criminal Justice Bill (2004) with the all-party body.
He said: “I envisage the day – now that we are in the era that most of us carry a camera in our phones – that gardaí on duty dealing with a disorder situation where they ask someone for their name and address, would also take a photograph of them so they know who they were dealing with afterwards, and that somehow this would be digitally sendable back to some record somewhere so that it is kept.”
He added: “I don’t see that this is a huge civil liberties issue.”
The minister continued: “It does seem to me that we will soon get to the point that every squad car has a mobile computer attached to it, and will be in an position to communicate back.”
Mr McDowell also said he would like to see CCTV installed in every garda station in the country.
Just for badness I encourage people to add to this thread...

THE Garda Commissioner issued an apology last night after officers investigating the murder of British spy Denis Donaldson travelled to the North to interview people without permission.
Commissioner Noel Conroy apologised to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) after two officers travelled into the jurisdiction to speak with journalists without prior clearance.
A statement from An Garda Siochána said: “Part of the investigation necessitated the interviewing of a number of media people both in this jurisdiction and in Northern Ireland.
“Two members of the Garda investigation team recently travelled to Northern Ireland where they met with some media people.
“The garda officers involved had assumed that advance notice had been given to the PSNI regarding this visit through the normal liaison channels. Due to an oversight, however, this was not the case. The Garda Commissioner has explained the position to the Chief Constable, PSNI, and apologised for this oversight.”
