Evidence review for Massachusetts attorneys
Massachusetts law enforcement agencies have expanded body-cam programs following police reform legislation. Defense attorneys in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield encounter growing volumes of video evidence.
Body-Cam Laws in Massachusetts
Massachusetts enacted the Police Reform Act (2020), which includes provisions for body-cam use. The law requires certain departments to deploy body cameras and establishes standards for recording and retention. Boston PD, Worcester PD, and Massachusetts State Police have body-cam programs.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
Massachusetts criminal discovery is governed by Mass. R. Crim. P. 14. Massachusetts expanded discovery obligations significantly in recent years. Prosecutors must disclose all exculpatory evidence and material recordings, including body-cam footage, to the defense in a timely manner.
