According to the senator, the country’s public security policies are “insufficient” to combat organized crime
The senator and former Lava Jato judge Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR) criticized this Monday (June 17, 2024) the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) because, according to him, it does not have a public security policy.
According to the former judge, the Federal Police (Federal Police) is more interested in investigating the “criticism of the government” that’s why, “there is a lack of resources to investigate organized crime”.
In an interview with the program “Straight to the point”from the Jovem Pan News, Moro stated that the only initiative debated by the government is the use of body cameras by police officers. For the senator, the measure is valid, but “insufficient”.
“We only see a debate about cameras that is valid, but it cannot be reduced to public safety. When I took over [o Ministério da Justiça e Segurança Pública] I said: ‘Let’s fight organized crime’. Is there a way to fight crime? There is, but you have to have a strategy”he declared.
On May 28, the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Ricardo Lewandowski, announced national guidelines for the use of body cameras by police officers.
The ordinance was signed after the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), published a notice for the purchase of the equipment. The document indicates that they could be triggered by the agents themselves during operations.
The methods announced by Lewandowski differ from the model adopted by the São Paulo government. While the State leaves the decision to turn cameras on and off to the police, the federal agency establishes 3 activation possibilities:
- remote, through an order from the police officer’s superior;
- automatic call after the police officer leaves the unit where he works;
- individual activation in situations for the agent’s privacy.
