Body camera discovery review
Body camera discovery is hours of footage that somebody has to watch, and the three minutes that matter are never at the start. We watch all of it and return a timestamped index you can navigate in a minute.
- Published price
- $200–800 / matter
- Turnaround
- 48 hours
- Without us
- $1,000–4,000
Fixed per unit, not hourly. No minimum engagement. Quoted before we start.
What you receive
Footage logged by timestamp with a written index of key moments and discrepancies.
- A timestamped log of every recording, with each significant event indexed to its time code
- Statements transcribed at the points where what was said matters
- Discrepancies between the footage and the police report flagged with both references
- Procedural moments logged: stop, search, Miranda warnings, consent requests, use of force
- Gaps, activations and deactivations noted with their time codes
- A summary of the sequence for use in a suppression motion or at hearing
What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.

How the work runs
01
Full-length viewing
Every recording is watched end to end, including the long quiet stretches. The material that changes a case is regularly in the part nobody expected to need.
02
Timestamped indexing
Events are logged against their time codes so you can jump directly to any moment rather than scrubbing through footage in front of a judge.
03
Cross-check against the report
The footage is compared against the written narrative, and every discrepancy is recorded with the time code on one side and the page and line on the other.
04
Procedural pass
We log the procedural moments that decide motions — stop, search, warnings, consent, force — with exact times and what was said.
What we need from you
- The footage, by secure transfer or an evidence-portal link
- The police report and any narrative to check the footage against
- The issues you are most concerned with, if you already know them
- The hearing or motion deadline
What we check before delivery
- Every recording is viewed in full; nothing is sampled or skipped
- Transcribed statements are checked twice against the audio, with unclear audio marked as unclear
- Time codes are verified against the source file rather than a player's relative position
- Camera gaps and deactivations are reported even where nothing else in the recording is notable
When firms send us this
- Suppression motions turning on what was said and when
- Matters with a dozen recordings across several officers and one hearing date
- Testing a police narrative against what the footage actually shows
- Civil rights and excess-force matters needing a defensible index of the sequence
Questions about discovery review (body cam)
How much footage can you take?
Priced per matter rather than per hour, with volume beyond roughly twelve hours quoted at the upper end of the range. Send the total runtime and you get a fixed number back.
Can you handle the evidence portals agencies use?
Yes, working from a link you provide with credentials you control. We can also work from a secure transfer if you prefer to download it yourself.
Do you flag legal issues in the footage?
We log the procedural moments precisely — stop, search, warnings, consent, force — with times and words. Whether they support a motion is your judgment.
