Why it matters

Public confidence in the justice system depends on even-handed policing and ethical conduct by those who enforce the law. Here, the footage shows patrol officers applying routine trespass procedures and declining to confer special treatment. The AG’s internal review signals the office is treating the matter as a personnel and conduct issue, not a policy referendum on body-camera use.

🛑 It should be noted that the assertions against Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan made in the criminal matter are merely allegations and have not been proven in a court of law.
