When body-worn cameras began to be widely used by U.S. police departments a decade ago, they seemed to hold the promise of a revolution. Once police officers knew their actions were being filmed, the thinking was, surely they would think twice about engaging in misconduct. And if they crossed the line, they would be held accountable: The public, no longer having to rely on official accounts, would know about wrongdoing. Police and civilian oversight agencies would be able to use footage to punish officers and improve training. In an outlay of hundreds of millions of dollars, the technology represented the largest new investment in policing in a generation.

But as policymakers rushed to equip the police with cameras, they often failed to grapple with a fundamental question: Who would control the footage? Instead, they defaulted to leaving police departments with the power to decide what is recorded, who can see it and when.

Our six-month investigation reveals that without further intervention from city, state and federal officials and lawmakers, body cameras may do more to serve police interests than those of the public they are sworn to protect.
