Government renews use of video surveillance in the city of Leiria

Notícias de Coimbra14 September 2026 at 11:11

The Government renewed the authorization for the use of the video surveillance system in the city of Leiria for a period of three years. The decision was made under the legislation that regulates video surveillance camera systems in public spaces in Portugal.

The renewal allows authorities to continue using the security cameras installed in various areas of the city, including public spaces and access roads. The system aims to contribute to the safety of citizens and crime prevention in the region.

The renewal request was apparently submitted by local authorities, who justified the need to keep the system active. The authorization is subject to specific operating and monitoring conditions, in accordance with current legal regulations.

This is not the first time the video surveillance system in Leiria has been renewed, as this is a measure that has been implemented in the city for several years.

Why this matters

The residents of Leiria continue to be monitored by cameras in public spaces for another three years, which affects their privacy and sense of security. The Government's decision applies specifically to the city of Leiria and renews a previous authorization that was about to expire.
