Video from the body camera of officer Adam Coy showing Andre Hill being killed was possible because of a feature on the device called a “look-back.”
Lt. Tom Collins of the Austintown Police Department, whose Motorola body cameras have the look-back feature, explained that the feature requires that the camera be running at all times.
“Our body cameras are always on, and they are recording,” Collins said.
