ELI5, How does a police video become public? Are they required to make them public, or are they leaked?
In: 1
Probably both. In US, police is heavily decentralized, every town makes their own rules, and makes their own decisions in regard to technology.
Sometimes police will release footage if it discourages crimes, or makes taxpayers feel good about use of their money.
I am sure hacks and leaks do happen occasionally, given that information security decisions are again made at the level of the city.
