Request

To whom it may concern, please can you provide me with details of occasions when Police Scotland has trialled cameras which use artificial intelligence. For example, cameras that can detect if motorists are using phones or not using seatbelts.

Please can you provide details of any arrests made as a result of such technology being used by Police Scotland.

Please can you also tell me: does Police Scotland plan to use such cameras and, if so, what is the planned date or rough period for officers to begin using this technology?
