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?

A lot of that stuff is already part of the public record because of the court cases. In some cases Freedom of Information requests may have been submitted in order to obtain the records. It varies from place to place and some may have less strict privacy legislation that permits those records to be used for true crime documentaries, etc.
