Local civil rights advocates are questioning the Metropolitan Police Department’s body-worn camera protocol. After examining body-worn camera policies outlined in Metro documents, local NAACP chapter Vice President Alex Cherup and longtime civil rights advocate Gary Peck say the body-worn camera policy needs revisiting.
