Bodycam should activate at random and not tell that to wearers.
- w458cmau 9y agoIs it not always actively recording and it's just that it overwrites once it is about to run out of space unless footage is marked for read-only?
- sgk284 9y agoThe batteries only last a handful of hours so officers turn them on as necessary (also most police unions lobby for this ability). It's unfortunate but it's the current reality.
- syshum 9y agoMost police body cam models have batteries that last for 12 hours of recording, enough to record an entire shift
- dghf 9y agoSo how do they, as the article says, "retain footage 30 seconds before an officer presses the record button"?

- honestoHeminway 9y agoThe permanently record, but do not permanently store. So if a button is pressed, they store 30 seconds of pre-recorded footage.
- kikimaru 9y agoAlso, the cops now know that they just have to press Record 31 seconds after committing their crime.
