Evidence review for Montana attorneys
Montana law enforcement agencies are beginning to adopt body-worn cameras. Defense attorneys in Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls encounter video evidence as departments implement body-cam programs.
Body-Cam Laws in Montana
Montana does not have a statewide body-cam mandate. Billings PD, Missoula PD, and other agencies have adopted body-cam programs. Montana's right to know laws (MCA 2-6-1001) govern public access to government records, including body-cam footage.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
Montana criminal discovery is governed by MCA 46-15-301 et seq. The prosecution must disclose all material evidence to the defense, including recordings. Montana courts apply broad discovery principles to ensure defendants receive all relevant evidence.
