Governor Tarcísio de Freitas expressed regret over his reactive stance towards body cameras for security agents amidst a crisis in public security in São Paulo.
The governor acknowledged the escalating number of civilian deaths caused by the Military Police in the state this year compared to previous years.
Despite not addressing specific cases directly, the change in attitude comes under high pressure as data on police lethality and misconduct are widely publicized.
During an event on legal and institutional challenges in public security, the governor admitted to errors in discourse and emphasized the need for balance and legal security.
