I need to know where to look up if it is required that a police vehicle have a car camera going if its lights are on. Does anyone know if so or where I can look to find out? I am in WV, USA.



As to why, The cops have been harassing my brother and tonight he had enough. He pulled out from being pulled over and came home to let mom and dad know what was going on. Tazer guns don't look that impressive for something that can cause a shitload of pain. And that cop really had a problem with listening to people. all he wanted to do was yell.

You need to look something up on the Internet? Try this site, it occasionally comes in handy: www.google.com

Always assume they have a camera (They do.), always assume that it is running (It is.).

He could get arrested for that, if I'm not mistaken.

Assume yes, but these cops also have a reputation. This little town took in more in speeding tickets than WV capital city last year. A lot of people think they are dirty. There is a good chance he might have left his camera off.

First get a lawyer. Google and NSG are not a lawyers. Next make sure your brother doesn't say anything to the police, use your lawyer to review all evidence against him before he makes a plea or even gives another detail.

Google lawyer is to find a lawyer that is not named Google.

He is wanted one hundreds of counts of fraud and impersonating a lawyer.

I wasn't really interested in helping to begin with, at least not for free. But that's probably pretty obvious.

I look forward to seeing your brother on some show with Sheriff John Bunnell shouting "...and this is why you don't try and run from the law".

Don't flame, no matter how pissed off your offline life is making you. There's no need to be abusive.

And the rest of you do not need to pile on and taunt Melphi either.

Your brother made a stupid move leaving the scene when he was pulled over. Legal advice would seem to be a good idea.

go to your STATE motor vehicle website. these kinds of laws vary from state to state.

not all police cars have cameras.

1. Your brother SHOULD CONSULT AN ACTUAL, LIVE ATTORNEY with experience in these matters.

2. FWIW, I couldn't find any such law in West Virginia. Here is the WV Code (http://www.legis.state.wv.us/WVCODE/Code.cfm?chap=01&art=1) -- perhaps you can find something I missed. There appears to have been a nationwide program to get cameras in police cars (http://www.policeone.com/police-products/vehicle-equipment/articles/93475-The-in-car-camera-Value-and-impact/), but I don't see that it included a requirement that police cars have a running camera.

Good luck.
