This course covers the very timely topic of body-worn cameras employed by law enforcement officers. The public has become educated on the use of dash-camera videos in patrol vehicles, and the resulting videos have become an expected extension of the traffic stop. As the use of public cellphone camera recordings of officers increases, officers now have their own live-incident recording tool, but not everyone accepts the concept.
Here, we discuss such important topics as legal considerations, 2nd Amendment rights, reasonable expectation of privacy, and control and access to the video, once the recording is made, as well as policy and tactical considerations.
Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive two (2) hours of course credit.
