You can make your own judgment as to which of those factors is weighing most heavily on their choice not to wear them, but they have never been required as a group to wear body-worn cameras all the time.

No.

This judge is trying to force them to.

They're just refusing to follow the order, despite...

Bavino saying that 99% of agents have these cameras, which is a bizarrely specific claim.

Yeah, like, is he the 1%?

Like, I guess.

He's like...

He's just so obviously lying.

It's just, oh, God.

Yeah, it's just, it's lying.

I think that should be enough to say.

Yeah, I don't know if I said they never wear them.

To be clear, they have gone forward and back on wearing them.

But it was earlier this year, the specific security risk.

They have access to the cameras.

They're just refusing to follow this order.

Yeah.

Now, the same complaint that alleged that Bovino threw a canister without justification into this crowd also details an incident from the next day, October 23rd, where agents, without wearing identification as required by the order, shot a protester in the neck with a pepper ball from five feet away, and while driving away, pointed a pepper ball gun, and I'm going to read from the complaint, quote,

And then a real gun at declarant Chris Gentry, a combat veteran who was lawfully standing on the side of the road, voicing his opposition as agents were driving by in their vehicles.
