Abstract:
The Durham Police Department is drafting a body-cam policy for the police force. However, the most recent draft is problematic, for it does not make the footage available to the public.

Many Durham citizens are challenging this drafted policy and hope for more access to body-cam footage.

Abstract:
This week in Washington, DC, the US Supreme Court heard the case of Heien vs. North Carolina which tests Fourth Amendment protections against unconstitutional searches. Its decision has national implications for police officers who are often immune from punishment for misinterpreting the law and illegally searching an individual. Civil liberties advocates are watching this case closely as it could cause illegal traffic stops to spike if police are not held accountable for misinterpreting the law.
