Fisheries Act 1994

It is lawful for an inspector to use a body-worn camera to record images or sounds while the inspector is exercising a power under this part.

Use of a body-worn camera by an inspector under subsection (1) includes use that is—

inadvertent or unexpected; or

incidental to use while exercising the inspector’s power.

Subsection (1) does not affect an ability the inspector has at common law or under fisheries legislation or another Act to record images or sounds.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (1) is a provision authorising the use by an inspector of a listening device, for the purposes of the Invasion of Privacy Act 1971, section 43(2)(d).
