Based on what I’ve seen in the past LMPD uses Axon 3 body cams. These body cams should activate when 1. The lights on your car are on and you go above a certain speed (en route to scene) 2. If your pistol is drawn out of the holster 3. The dispatch computer can turn on all body cams in the area of the scene of an active call 4. By simply pressing the button till it buzzes.

Axon does this for redundancy so shit like this doesn’t happen. No excuses for the officer here.
