No bodycam footage in fatal Madison police shooting, because the department doesn’t require cameras

World 4 sources 2 countries 29m ago

A fatal police shooting of a homeless man in Madison, Wisconsin, has prompted an official review of the incident. While investigators are currently examining bystander videos of the shooting that have been widely circulated, there is no footage available from police body-worn cameras.

The absence of official video stems from a department policy that does not require officers to wear body cameras. This practice distinguishes Madison from nearly every other similarly sized city in the United States, leaving the investigation to rely on public recordings rather than law enforcement equipment.
