I believe we have the votes and judge barrett on the merits is going to be confirmed

The Leadership Council for human rights and dozens of other organizations came together in 2015 to release basic civil rights principles for Body Worn Camera usage. Though turned those principles into eight criteria for which to evaluate body camera policies. We measured interiors policy against the leadership criteria. Interiors draft interim policy only fully met one of eight criteria. Thats an 88 failure rate. 88 . The deficiencies are significant. The policy isnt publicly available. It doesnt limit Biometric Technologies like facial recognition. It doesnt prevent the officer from seeing footage before writing a report about an incident. In fact, on many of the important questions like those the interior policy says that bureau should decide. That creates an inconsistent set of basic civil protections that will change depending on which bureaus Law Enforcement officer you run int
