Greg Stanton is pushing legislation to require all uniformed, on-duty Capitol Police officers to utilize body-worn cameras. He will introduce a bill proposing the requirement this week.\n\n\u201cFor the safety of our Capitol Police officers, the public and everyone who works in the Capitol complex, it\u2019s imperative that officers utilize body-worn cameras while on duty,\u201d said Stanton. \u201cLast week\u2019s armed insurrection against our government and breach of the United States Capitol building stunned the world, and we have a lot to learn about what went wrong. But I\u2019m certain that the investigation\u2014and the process to hold those responsible to account\u2014would be much more thorough if aided by footage from body cameras.\u201d\n\nInvestigations of the attack on the Capitol will rely heavily on cell phone and surveillance videos in the absence of any body camera footage.\n\nStanton introduced a bill during the last Congress to make the use of body-worn cameras for law enforcement officers a condition of eligibility for COPS grants.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:19:43Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stanton.house.gov/2021/1/stanton-introduce-bill-requiring-capitol-police-utilize-body-worn-cameras"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9347740560770035, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
