The Home Ministry has maintained that it is wrong for the public to record or live stream police carrying out arrests or raids, adding that body cameras for on-duty use have yet to be procured.

In a written reply to Lim Lip Eng (Pakatan Harapan-Kepong) last Thursday, the ministry said filming an arrest or raid can have action taken against them for obstructing a public officer in carrying out their duties and disrupting investigations.

Police had in 2020 said such actions were an offence under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in discharge of his or her public functions.

That year, police arrested former Universiti Malaya Association of New Youth president Wong Yan Ke for recording a police search.
