The choice of the German police of storing bodycam footage on Amazon cloud storage has raised privacy and security concerns.

The news was first reported by the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung newspaper on Saturday,- According to the newspaper, Federal Police are using a cloud service from Amazon to store bodycam videos because the tech giant is the only company in Germany that was certificated by the Federal Office for Information Security.

Authorities also added that data are encrypted and stored on servers located in Germany.

“At present, there is no state infrastructure available that fulfills the requirements.” The Federal Police Headquarters told the newspaper. [...] The Ministry points out that “the German data protection standards would be respected”. “The data is encrypted and stored exclusively on servers in Germany”

“That this company is now to administer the bodycam recordings for the Federal Police leaves more than a bad feeling,” said von Notz.

I don't see the issue if it's encrypted properly, at least security-wise. If they do get "hacked", it's gonna be cuz some1 got phished again, not because of the amazon cloud storage
