17 include, at a minimum, all of the following:
18 (1) Cameras must be equipped with pre-event recording,

8 the camera from being turned on, the camera must be
9 turned on as soon as practicable.
10 (B) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off
11 when the officer is inside of a patrol car which is
