About surveillance with UAS
The police have the right to surveil a crime-exposed location if there is a risk of criminal activity. The purpose of the surveillance is to prevent, prevent or detect crimes at a crime-exposed location and ensure the general order and security.
The police do not film particularly sensitive locations such as homes.
The police also have the right to use the film material in investigative and prosecution work. The material may be used as evidence in a trial.
