But privately, the department is telling some of its agents they cannot work with officers using such cameras as part of joint task forces, according to people familiar with the discussions.
“We are well past the date where it’s acceptable for major law-enforcement entities to not have a policy,†Mr. Marlow said.
A Justice Department spokesman said the agency “is looking into this issue and has been consulting with the law enforcement components†within the department.
Nearly a year ago, in response to the Ferguson crisis, President Barack Obama announced a multiyear, $75 million effort to fund body cameras for police officers.

The rules don’t apply to Obama’s Civilian National Security Force. We can trust them to dispense (the left’s) justice fairly.
Consulting = Or Else
We know Obama runs that department.
Of course!
For thee but, not for me....
Federal over reach and creating a caste society within LE.
From the most transparent administration in the history of the known universe!
Yeah, we can’t have liveleak/youtube evidence of ATF (F-troop) planting illegal auto-sears during routine inspections of FFL/SOT holders. THAT day is coming.
My opinion about “full faith and credit of the U.S. Government”, has been in a major decline.
My tin foil appears tight, and still, I do not believe a word they say.
The main reason police officers hate bodycams is because they don’t like recordings of how little work they actually do. 90% of police work is just sitting around. It’s not a surprise many are drawn to armed highway robbery, a plus being retirement by age 50.
Anyone saying No should get the first cameras else resign or be fired.
It is sometimes said that being a grunt is 99% boredom, and 1% pure terror!
Probably close for coppers too.
That said, makes no difference the line of work, plumber, physician, philosopher... always some malingerers.
The problem is government oversight, that’s an oxymoron!
In the real world, fire his azz!
A government employee, he has rights...
And how is it that they can retire at age 50?
The unions will ask for the moon, someone has to agree to the contract.
