Is it normal procedure to have body cams on while in the car? Dash cam would be pointing forward, so that wouldn’t show anything.

The excuse the police department is giving about their body cams not being on is that the department is "eight months out from fully rolling out body cameras across the force. He added that police department will soon review the body camera program, and that an updated police [???] will also be released."

The inserted question marks are mine since there appears to be a word or two missing from the article. They have to have some rules and regulations in place for the use of these cams. It would be helpful if they'd release the present regulations that are being followed to see if the officer's were in compliance.

This is the part I don't get. I would think that once you approach the scene of the call or complaint, you'd turn those devices on. If the dash cam were on, it might have shown how she approached the patrol car.
