Requires police officers and peace officers to wear body cameras during search warrant executions.

New York Assembly Bill A07202 mandates that police officers and peace officers wear functioning body cameras during the execution of search warrants. The cameras must be active before entering the premises, throughout the search, and during any related actions. This requirement applies regardless of whether the officers have consent to enter, if there are exigent circumstances, or if they are otherwise authorized to enter. The bill amends the criminal procedure law to include this new mandate, effective 30 days after it becomes law.
