Câmeras corporais e a confiabilidade da prova testemunhal de policiais

Abstract

This monographic research has a type of exploratory research, as it analyzes the reliability of testimonial evidence in the Brazilian criminal process, delimiting its pros and cons, as well as its importance in the process of convincing the magistrate. Using the deductive method, as well as bibliographic research and case studies, the aim is to verify how the incidence of false memories as a negative point can harm the construction of testimonial evidence, especially when the witness is a police officer . In addition, it seeks to analyze the possible valuation that should be applied to police testimonies, viewing the process as a game, based on game theory, and to what extent the relative presumption of veracity of these statements should prevail so that there is no disrespect for the constitutional principles that permeate the criminal process. Still, under a second aspect, it seeks to answer whether the implementation of the "bodyworn camera" in the uniform of police officers will bring an effective reduction in police violence rates as well as control the incidence of the phenomenon of false memories, which is very common. During the research, it was decided to stick to the police statement as a key part of the process. Therefore, to prevent it from being wrongly collected, the "Camera Law" was defined as the main focus and basis for the solving the conflicts presented in this project, therefore, allows the judge, who will be the magistrate, to have an apparatus when evaluating the testimonies, since the use of cameras allows for procedural transparency. With the audio and video mechanisms, if its use is requested within a testimonial evidence, it will be of great value, thus having the power to make the testimony of the listed witness true or not, being a police officer or a third party recorded by the cameras
