Evidence review for Pennsylvania attorneys
Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and across the state have deployed body-worn cameras. Defense attorneys handle significant video evidence volumes in criminal cases.
Body-Cam Laws in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania enacted Act 22 (2017) establishing a comprehensive framework for body-cam use by law enforcement. The law addresses recording requirements, footage retention (minimum 60 days), access provisions, and penalties for tampering. Philadelphia PD, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, and Pennsylvania State Police have body-cam programs.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
Pennsylvania criminal discovery is governed by Pa.R.Crim.P. 573. Pennsylvania provides for broad discovery, and prosecutors must disclose all evidence in their possession, including body-cam footage and other recordings. Pennsylvania courts have ordered production of body-cam footage in criminal cases.
