AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State University campus police are using body cameras but because no formal policy for the technology has been adopted, it is unclear when the public has the right to see the videos.  The Des Moines Register reports that campus police began using cameras this summer under a draft policy that the department has refused to release. There is no timeline for when a formal policy may be finalized.

University interim police chief Aaron DeLashmutt says the public safety department wants to make sure privacy rights are looked at before making a policy public. ISU student government president Cole Staudt says that although campus police told the organization that officer were going to wear body cameras, no student input was sought while developing the policy.
