This bill would also require police officers to note the number of times a conducted electrical weapon was discharged on the Threat, Resistance, or Injury worksheet. This bill would also require that any future purchases of body worn cameras by the New York City Police Department be cameras that are capable of automatically activating when a conducted electrical weapon is armed or its trigger is being pulled. This bill would also require that such feature be enabled for body worn cameras whenever it is available.
