In recent decades, the use of CCTV as a technological tool in the criminal justice process has played an increasing role in detecting crimes, identifying perpetrators, and providing evidence. By objectively recording events, this surveillance tool allows judicial authorities and judicial officers to make more documented and accurate decisions based on visual evidence. Especially in obvious crimes, recorded images can help reduce human error in identifying criminals, speed up the investigation process, and enhance the accuracy of preliminary investigations. However, the use of this technology in the context of criminal justice also poses challenges. These include concerns about privacy, the possibility of misuse of images, and the risk of replacing human judgment with mere technical evidence. In this article, while examining the advantages and disadvantages of using CCTV in the criminal justice system, an attempt is made to analyze the balance between the efficiency of the criminal investigation process and the protection of the rights of the accused and the principles of fair trial. The conclusion of the article is that the targeted and disciplined use of surveillance technology can be effective in achieving criminal justice.
