Gardaí to record crime on video cameras

GARDAÍ are to be given video cameras to record drink-related offences at pubs, nightclubs and takeaways, as part of a new clampdown on public order offences.

Special units in 25 Garda districts will be provided with hand-held cameras to document offences being targeted by the new Public Order Bill.

The 25 public order units will also use the video cameras to record demonstrations and protest marches.
