Officers can also file footage under more mundane categories, such as "call for service" or "car stop," as well as more high-priority categories like "restricted" — limiting who can see the footage. In instances in which officers use force, such as during a police shooting, the officers are not allowed to watch the footage taken at the scene unless there are "exigent circumstances," Kim said, such as if they believe it will show them where a suspect stashed a weapon.
