QQ for anyone with a knowledge of how this works in LE…
If there were approximately 10 officers on scene, why do we only have body cam footage from only a select few? Are all police officers required to wear body cam footage, or not necessarily? Also, is there, or could there be, any evidence that any of the officers disabled their body cam footage, or “sabotaged” what would be visible on the feed? For example, IIRC, I believe it was the second bodycam video that depicted a portion of footage in the latter half showing basically nothing… to me, it seems like it might have been sitting on the ground… the camera was still on, and you could still hear audio, but it was as if the officer had taken it off (or it had fallen off? I have no idea how body cams are secured to officers’ bodies/uniforms, or if having it come off accidentally even seems plausible)… does anyone have any knowledge of body cam rules, regulations (and are rules/regs the same everywhere?), if they are always required to be worn, or if it if varies by jurisdiction and available resources, how they are affixed to the person wearing them, etc.?
