From the transcript
Um, Chief Case confirmed that APD's 14-day policy does not apply to body-worn cameras and dash cameras. And that's where my concern comes in. Those recordings have separate retention requirements for very good reasons, including transparency and accountability. Um, and Anchorage voters approved funding for those. The public wanted that footage available to hold law enforcement accountable, not just to investigate crimes.
