Concerns about Announcing Locations of Mobile Cameras in Cyprus

February 5, 2026

The Cypriot government does not intend to announce the locations of mobile cameras and radar as officials believe this could mislead citizens. Lawmakers argue that transparency is necessary to build trust between the public and the police. However, concerns are raised about the safety of camera operators and the costs associated with disclosing the locations. Past instances of attacks on mobile cameras add to the arguments against publicizing locations. The discussion continues as other European countries suggest different approaches to transparency and safety.
