Police Body Cameras

The Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office will have to watch more than 14,000 hours of footage a year when city police arm 450 of their officers with body cameras.
The office calculated it would need seven additional pairs of eyes to review the tape for prosecutorial evidence.best vehicle camera recorder
Most prosecutors’ salaries are covered by the state, with localities able to give supplemental pay at their discretion. But the state only pays for so many positions, and the General Assembly hasn’t funded the number of employees recommended by a state board.
So the city of Virginia Beach will pay for seven new assistant commonwealth’s attorneys out of its own pocket.Fullerton Police also released the 911 call placed by Benson Williams, Hannah's father, who, not knowing about the shooting, phoned to report her as missing about 90 minutes after the incident occurred. The girl's father told the dispatcher that she had driven off with the rental car and was on antidepressants.

Asked if he was concerned she may want to harm herself, he replied, "I am."Asked if Hannah had ever mentioned hurting herself, Williams answered, "No ma'am...But like I said, she is on medication right now" and said "it's just you know out of the blue.. she's never done this."

Asked if she was "white, black, Asian or Hispanic," Williams responded, "white."

Before Fullerton Police released the video publicly Police Chief Robert Dunn and Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer met with the Williams' family to offer them the chance to view the video before it was released publicly, the police statement said.

As a press conference on Friday, S. Lee Merritt, a civil rights attorney who’s been assisting Williams’ family, told reporters he viewed the video on behalf of the Williams' family, who did not want to watch it.

The Williams' family spoke with the district attorney and wants a full and through investigation into Hannah's shooting, Merritt said. He added that the family hoped that law enforcement would come up with better procedures in Hannah's name and memory.
