New South Wales police are now legally required to turn on body-worn cameras the moment they use their powers—whether in pursuits, responding to serious crimes, or using force. Officers who fail to record must submit written explanations. This major shift follows a Four Corners investigation exposing alarming gaps in camera use, including delayed activation and muted footage during critical incidents. Once optional in NSW and WA, mandatory recording is now seen as essential for accountability after years of advocacy by watchdogs and community groups. The goal? Greater transparency, safer interactions, and clear evidence when misconduct is alleged.
