The reason I ask is, if their video recording depends on that object on his chest getting returned to HQ, then that object seems like an awfully vulnerable place to store the pieces of video evidence that ICE would want to keep, especially for a lone officer whose backup was apparently 67 seconds away.

Moot point if a secondary wired/wireless brick of some kind is storing the video. But I know nothing about bodycams so I can’t say.

How does that body camera work? Is it grabbable? Is it saving video to a separate brick in his ass pocket or is it all saved on that one grabbable piece of equipment?
