São Paulo Military Police body camera misuse investigations

Overview

The São Paulo Military Police (PM-SP) is facing increased scrutiny following a report from the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) regarding the misuse of body cameras. During the first half of 2026, disciplinary investigations into equipment-related misconduct rose by 208%, with 928 procedures opened.

Reported infractions include deliberate interference with devices—such as obstructing lenses, failing to activate them, or allowing batteries to deplete—as well as providing false information and improper uniform usage. These issues emerged after the department transitioned to Motorola cameras in May 2025, which require manual activation, unlike the previous Axon models that recorded continuously.
