Federal Police Camera and Accountability Act mandates body cameras for federal law enforcement officers.
The Federal Police Camera and Accountability Act requires federal law enforcement officers to wear body cameras. It mandates that video and audio recordings begin when officers respond to calls for service or initiate stops, unless safety concerns prevent activation. Officers must notify subjects of recordings and allow them to request camera deactivation. Footage must be retained for six months, with certain interactions requiring a minimum three-year retention.
