Is that specific to where you live?

No offense, but that _sounds_ like a super-specific policy :)

Also, how would that even work? Is there a second person who's watching the first cop's entire day? Like, even at 8x speed that's an hour for to watch an 8 hour shift.

It seems like a more reasonable / likely policy is that the video footage is automatically archived and then deleted after a reasonable time (3 months? 6? a year?) if it's not requested by anybody.

That way someone can request the relevant footage when a (hopefully infrequent) complaint is made, possibly after the requester has gotten a lawyer (etc), but the 99% of the footage that isn't useful never consumes anyone's time ("Watch as Officer Smith.. PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN!!!1!!!1" :) ).
