Maine ICE Shooting: Cameras Present, Not Activated Under Axon Contract
Four ICE officials say body-worn Motorola SVX devices at the Biddeford shooting scene could record video, but the cameras were not activated and the lenses reportedly kept covered because ICE uses the SVX as radios under an Axon contract; video recording requires a subscription, and DHS plans to spend over $100 million on Axon gear for ICE. Past deadly ICE incidents stopped short of body-cam footage, and following the Maine shooting ICE paused some traffic stops amid scrutiny of camera deployment.
