Question for written answer  E-006427/2020
to the Commission
Rule 138
Moritz Körner (Renew)
 Answer in writing 
 Subject: Audio surveillance

Does the Commission consider that audio surveillance for law enforcement purposes in public areas is generally compatible with fundamental rights?

Algorithms allow microphones in public places to react to ‘abnormal noise’ — such as accidents, shouting, gunshots or breaking glass — and automatically alert the security forces.

Cameras which record images and sound could be installed in public transport.

What kinds of audio surveillance for law enforcement purposes in public areas does the Commission consider to be compatible with fundamental rights and which does it consider to be incompatible?
