Mary Fan, a University of Washington School of Law professor and Center for an Informed Public affiliate researcher, was recently interviewed by The Verge about how video from police body-worn cameras and video captured by bystanders can tell different stories about police-involved encounters since they’re recorded from different angles and can focus on different aspects of an encounter.
“When a camera gets activated, whether it’s a community member’s camera or an officer’s camera, it can lead to misperceptions,” Fan told The Verge.
