Congressman files bill requiring Capitol Police to wear body cameras
A congressman from Arizona who is a staunch supporter of body-worn cameras for police filed a bill Tuesday which would mandate that the U.S. Capitol Police wear such cameras, saying that it would have helped with the investigation into the riot at the Capitol last week. Very few federal police wear body cameras, even as they have spread through state and local police departments across the country. Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) introduced the bill to “require uniformed officers of the United States Capitol Police to utilize body-worn cameras while on duty.”
