Austin Police to Test out Body Cameras

In an effort to help capture video and audio during police interactions, Austin Police Department is considering 4 different brands of these body cameras.  These body cameras would not replace the dashboard cameras already in place in most APD vehicles.   Instead, they would be additional cameras worn by the police officer to allow them to quickly record audio and video when an officer is responding to an incident.

Something I always tell my clients is to assume that everything you say or do in front of a police officer is recorded, so behave accordingly, and remain silent.
