Chicago, IL - The news piece broadcast on August 12, 2015 features Lynwood, Illinois police using their PatrolEyes HD SCDV1 body camera model. The story centers around a new Illinois law that sets standards on how police departments use body cameras and when the public can see those recordings.
ABC7 News reported that Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law wideranging law enforcement rules for police body cameras, biasfree policing and more data collection on arrests. The new law doesn't mandate body cameras, but does specify how they should be worn, when they have to be turned on and how long recorded videos should be kept.
ABC7 News wrote that In south suburban Lynwood, police body cameras have already been in use. Every traffic stop, every interaction with the public for law enforcement purposes is recorded. "It's going to protect me and protect my job because I have a family to go home to at the end of the night," Lynwood Police Officer Brandon Frazier said. Office Frazier isn't talking about his bulletproof vest or gun. He's talking about the body camera he's wearing.
