Minneapolis police tighten body cam rules after Damond case
Minneapolis police will activate body cameras on all public encounters effective Saturday. The policy, urged after Justine Damond's death, ends officer discretion and aligns with a 2015 recommendation. An automatic camera trigger will also start when patrol alerts are activated. An expanded audit will review usage by Sept. 27.
