@Noel7  Why does the title say "to be shot" as if it didn't yet happen?  Wanna fix that? (if you edit your first post you can edit the title)

OK, are they required to have them on while still in the car? 

---

Yes, at all times from what I've read, especially when with a citizen.

The squad car camera was apparently off, also.

It doesn't.  It identifies the woman as a bride to be.

I've read body cams turned on when leaving patrol car when they leave the patrol car. 

Guess all the facts are not available yet.

I agree, @Noel7. The department body camera policy appears to require officers to turn them on before responding to a call and certainly before engaging with an individual as part of that call.  It's troubling that none of the cameras were on, which could have given a clear and accurate picture of the chain of events leading to this woman's death.

I tend to wait for more information in cases like this. Has law enforcement given any information as to why they shot her? I did read they were put on leave until further investigation.

Did their gun go off by mistake. I simply cannot understand the why of shooting her without a lot more details than those given.

From The Star Tribune: Minneapolis police release final bodycam policy

June 30, 2016

The guidelines address when officers would record police-citizen interactions and how that data would be stored. Under the new plan, sworn officers would be required to turn on the devices during all traffic and suspicious-person stops, car chases and searches, in addition to any use of force.

Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bill last month that would restrict most bodycam video from public review. Video showing a discharge of a firearm or use of force that results in substantial bodily harm would still be released after an investigation is closed.

Audio and video collected by MPD during “significant incidents,” including those that result in death or great bodily harm, felony crimes, squad accidents and domestic abuse interviews will be saved for at least seven years. General recordings and petty misdemeanors will be saved for just one year.

IMO there are way too many shootings of innocent people and dogs.

Some shootings are by rookies, which indicates to me their training is not adequate OR the departments are accepting recruits who are unsuited for the job.
