Andorra Minister Expects Body Cameras for Traffic Agents Soon

Andorra's Interior Minister Ester Molné expects the Videovigilance Commission to deliver its required report on body cameras for traffic agents very soon, potentially allowing use as early as this year.

The commission is reviewing a pilot application after initial paperwork issues forced revisions to fit a complex legal framework, including the Public Security Law, traffic agents regulations, and parish ordinances. Molné said the process will not drag on excessively, and a positive outcome could see the devices deployed in 2026.

Approval would not apply automatically across parishes. Each parish council must submit its own request, complete an impact assessment, and establish a specific regulatory framework, given variations in systems and the need for case-by-case evaluation. The minister noted that resolving the first application could accelerate follow-ups.

If the report calls for broader use of recordings or rejects the pilot, the government stands ready to amend the Public Security Law. Molné described the technology as a valuable tool and suggested changes could involve just a few articles, prioritised to take effect before the legislative term ends—though she added that it remains unclear whether the commission will recommend such a step.
