#2025-122CNIL opinion on Île-de-France Mobilités agents viewing transport video surveillance feeds
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The measure sets the conditions for selected Île-de-France Mobilités security agents to view live video surveillance images from public transport vehicles, stations, facilities, and nearby areas inside state-run command rooms. They may do this only under the authority and in the presence of national police or gendarmerie officers, with the aim of preventing crime and protecting passengers and staff. CNIL supports tighter safeguards and says the government should create a clear, ministry-level operating policy for all relevant command rooms. That policy should define objective criteria for when video feeds can be transmitted and viewed, reducing the risk of broad or inconsistent surveillance practices.
