Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill provides that every use of means for dispersing demonstrations (such as a water cannon vehicle, tear gas, stun weapons, etc.) must be documented in a video recording stating the type of liquid used. The documentation will be kept by the police for 3 years. A person who claims to have been harmed by the use of these means may apply to the police and receive the documentation within a week, unless the police ask the court for a stay due to concern for an investigation or for security. This is in order to give those harmed documentation of cases that did not comply with procedures and to allow complaints and lawsuits to be filed.
