Although surveillance isn’t a primary purpose of BWCs, the technology does offer a form of community surveillance. A growing body of research has demonstrated the negative consequences of surveillance in the public sphere, including violations of reasonable expectations of privacy (PDF), a chilling effect on public discourse and life, and avoidance of systems (e.g., education, medical care) where surveillance is anticipated. As a result, BWCs tend to increase monitoring of already heavily surveilled communities, particularly overpoliced communities of color.

To investigate if the increasing implementation of the technology matches how it has been used, we analyze whether BWCs are meeting their purposes and what policymakers can do to take further steps toward those goals.

Policymakers and agency leadership hoping to implement BWCs can make more informed decisions by reviewing legislation, policies, and practice to ensure a match between a BWC program’s goals, purpose, and use. The following questions can help policymakers understand the impact of policy and practice on the goals and purpose of BWCs.

In the early 2010s, law enforcement agencies in the United States began adopting body-worn cameras (BWC), and in 2012, the police department in Rialto, California, became the first law enforcement agency nationwide to have a BWC program rigorously evaluated.

In the decade since, calls for widespread adoption of the technology have followed many high-profile police killings. Today, almost half of law enforcement agencies in the United States use BWCs, and seven states mandate their use. Even federal law enforcement agencies and departments of correction have begun using BWC.

Open Evidence is a research and consulting firm that designs and conducts studies to support public policy and corporate strategies.

Proposed uses of body-worn cameras include documenting evidence, strengthening police transparency and accountability, preventing and resolving community complaints, training officers, improving community and officer behavior, and providing the police perspective on events. Below, we assess the implementation and effectiveness of each of these proposed uses.

Every decision about policy and practice influences how BWCs are used and whether those uses align with the stated goals of the programs. For policymakers and agencies to ensure thoughtful use of BWCs, they must thoroughly investigate these questions.
