OFFICER BODY-WORN CAMERAS--CAPTURING OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE WITH QUALITY TECHNOLOGY AND FOCUSED POLICIES. [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are one of the nation's latest policing tools to be used in the effort to increase police department transparency, strengthen community trust, and fight crime. BWCs are touted as game-changing technology in policing because of their potential to monitor officer misconduct during police-citizen encounters and provide objective evidence. As more police agencies incorporate BWCs into their policing culture, an influx of video data is being collected for possible use in criminal prosecution. Although BWCs are revolutionizing criminal proceedings, inadequate or absent police department policies may threaten the potential use of recorded video as evidence in court. This comment identifies potential evidentiary challenges that may arise when introducing BWC recordings at trial, and argues that such challenges may be avoided with strong police department policies. It concludes by offering a BWC policy template designed to promote objectivity and the integrity of BWC video evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
