A deceptive practice where police officers manipulate or stage events in front of their body cameras to create a false narrative and cover up misconduct. This can involve rehearsing statements with informants before turning on the audio, fabricating scenarios like falsely claiming "officer safety" while they are the aggressors, or giving a fabricated probable cause statement. The purpose of body cam acting is to mislead viewers of the footage and protect officers from accountability by distorting the truth of what actually occurred.
Officers Wilson and Denardi engaged in body cam acting with the informant, rehearsing their narrative before switching on the audio and pretending they were just arriving on the scene.
