The Body-Cam Discovery Checklist

A 6-page printable PDF you can clip to every body-cam file the state produces. Built so the same systematic review happens on day one of case prep — not three days before trial. Procedural checklist only; no legal opinion.

What's inside

  • 01

    Pre-review metadata checklist

    File integrity hashes, officer ID, device serial, recording start/stop, activation reason, gaps & redactions, chain of custody.

  • 02

    First-contact + interaction checklist

    Arrival behavior, verbal contact, Miranda timing, search consent, use-of-force events, camera deactivations. All anchored by timestamp.

  • 03

    Cross-reference checklist

    Match body-cam against police report, CAD audio, dash-cam, jail calls, surveillance, witness statements. Build the master inconsistency log.

Procedural — not legal advice. This checklist captures procedural steps that defense attorneys already know to perform. It does not interpret law, advise on case strategy, or replace the rules of your jurisdiction. For legal questions, consult NACDL, your state bar, or your local discovery rules.
