Authorities said there is no squad camera footage of the incident. The deputies involved also weren't wearing body cameras, because they were operating under the rules of federal law enforcement agencies, which don't allow the devices, according to the BCA news release. However, the Department of Justice announced last October that it changed its policy to permit state, local, territorial and tribal task forces to use body-worn cameras "while serving arrest warrants, or during other planned arrest operations, and during the execution of search warrants."
