Evidence review for Hawaii attorneys
Hawaii law enforcement agencies have been expanding body-cam programs across the islands. Defense attorneys in Honolulu and across the state encounter body-cam footage in criminal cases with increasing frequency.
Body-Cam Laws in Hawaii
Hawaii does not have a statewide body-cam mandate. The Honolulu Police Department, the state's largest agency, has deployed body-worn cameras. Hawaii's Uniform Information Practices Act (HRS Chapter 92F) governs access to government records, including body-cam footage.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
Hawaii criminal discovery is governed by Rule 16 of the Hawaii Rules of Penal Procedure. The prosecution must disclose all material evidence to the defense, including any recordings. Hawaii courts follow broad discovery principles to ensure fair trials.
