The Minneapolis cop who shot and killed an Australian woman flouted the department’s rules by failing to turn on his body cam before and after the shooting, according to a new report.

The Minneapolis Police Department’s policy and procedure manual requires officers to activate their body cams prior to use of force, or as soon as it’s safe to do so, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

Neither Officer Mohamed Noor nor his partner Matthew Harrity had their body cams on Saturday night when Noor fatally shot Justine Damond, 40, while responding to a 911 call.

The dash cam of the officers’ patrol car was also not switched on at the time.

On Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota called on the cops to face penalties for violating protocol.

“By failing to turn on their body cameras when they encountered Ms. Damond, the two Minneapolis Police officers violated their department’s policy, 4-223, on body cameras,” the ACLU said in a statement.

“This violation of policy thwarted the public’s right to know what happened to Ms. Damond and why the police killed her. The two officers broke the policy not only when they didn’t activate the body cameras before the incident, but also when they failed to do so after the use of force.”

Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the shooting, but said the Police Department will decide whether Noor and Harrity broke protocol.

The department issued body cams to all of its officers last October.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who will decide whether the officers will be criminally charged after the BCA announces its findings, said he thought the body cams should have been activated in the incident.

“I do understand this,” Freeman told the Star Tribune. “[The officers] were driving down an alley, the victim approached the car. That’s not necessarily a time you must, but, frankly, I think it’s a time you should.”

Noor was seated in the passenger seat when he allegedly opened fire on Damond, who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault near her home.
