ABSTRACT

Fan’s chapter makes two important contributions to the field. First, it provides much needed-insight into trends in the law, policy, and guidance governing police body-worn video in the United States. Second, it advances normative claims about how to achieve a balance between conflicting values at stake and draws on these to make concrete recommendations for police regulation. In this brief response I focus on the normative claims and recommendations with respect to the protection of victims and witnesses whose interactions with police are captured on body camera.
