Chief: Minneapolis police officers must turn on body cameras for any call

Minneapolis police must activate their body cameras when responding to any call, traffic stop or self-initiated activity, acting Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said Wednesday, in a key change to city policy in the wake of Justine Damond’s shooting death.

“What good is a camera if it is not being used when it may be needed the most?” Arradondo said at a news conference, where he and Mayor Betsy Hodges acknowledged some officers have not been using their cameras enough.
