Blockchain Enabled Integrity Protection for Bodycam Video

The prevalence of both documented incidents and anecdotal evidence perpetuate mistrust in video collected via Law Enforcement body worn recording devices. This paper examines the application of blockchain technology for the management of high volumes of video produced every day during the course of a police field officers’ duties. We apply a comprehensive blockchain system developed specifically for law enforcement video collection to the body worn scenario and examine the protection level offered whilst considering the specific requirements and limitations of this mobile platform. Specific scenarios are examined and shown to offer a compelling level of assurance to mobile body worn video collection operations.
