Body-Cam Laws in Indiana

Indiana enacted IC 5-14-3-4(b)(26) governing body-cam footage disclosure. While not mandating body-cam use statewide, the law establishes rules for when footage must be released. Indianapolis Metropolitan PD, Fort Wayne PD, and Indiana State Police have body-cam programs.

Discovery Rules & Video Evidence

Indiana criminal discovery is governed by Indiana Criminal Rule 21 (effective 2020), which significantly expanded discovery obligations. Prosecutors must disclose all evidence in their possession, including body-cam footage, within specific timelines. The 2020 reforms moved Indiana toward an open-file discovery system.
