body cameras
Cop chest footage
Body cameras are small video recording devices worn by police officers, typically attached to the chest or uniform.
They capture footage of interactions between officers and the public, intended to provide accountability and evidence: The body camera footage contradicted the officer's account.
Their use became widespread after high-profile incidents of police violence sparked demands for transparency.
