Body-Cam Laws in North Dakota

North Dakota does not have a statewide body-cam mandate. Fargo PD, Bismarck PD, and Grand Forks PD have body-cam programs. North Dakota's open records law (NDCC 44-04) governs access to body-cam footage, with law enforcement exemptions.

Discovery Rules & Video Evidence

North Dakota criminal discovery is governed by N.D.R.Crim.P. 16. The prosecution must disclose all evidence material to the defense. North Dakota courts have recognized body-cam footage as discoverable evidence.
