Body-Camera Footage

Police and federal-agent camera footage on the issues voters are deciding, grouped by topic and ordered by how many people have watched it. Every clip plays from its original YouTube upload; VoteFiles does not copy or edit it.

What this is.

Footage shows one camera's view of part of an event. The description under each clip is the agency's or uploader's account, named and linked; it is not a VoteFiles finding about what happened. An arrest or charge is not a conviction. View counts are the number shown on YouTube on the date we checked, not a live count.
