Audio of 911 calls…police body cam footage…police interview footage…crime scene photos…what, do filmmakers just call up the cops and say “Hey, I’m making a documentary” and the cops are like “sure thing, here’s all this stuff”?
I guess I don’t understand what’s in it for the cops to share. And is none of this stuff considered private?

You don’t even have to say you’re making a documentary. You fill out a form, pay the fee, and they hand it over. Anyone can request and obtain any public information. Sometimes certain records are sealed by a judge for one reason or another, but most records are available.
