There is a neat application called "Whisper" which will translate/transcribe just about any media format, locally on your computer.
But I guess that's only necessary if bodycam footage isn't uploaded to YouTube (wow!).

My hope is for your swift and proper resolution, whatever the charges/incident. They're allowed to lie/bait/entrap; glad you got the footage.
Some works of the US federal government are not subject to copyright and can be mirrored freely.
What licenses do city government use to release public information?
Maybe for a while I can avoid submitting my documents and information to partners-of-the-DMV, but just like airport security it's a convenience tax. They do not value your time, and they will demonstrate it by putting you through extra hoops to coerce you into giving them everything.
How this is legal is beyond my comprehension.
Just over a year ago, I had a civil court action where the court REQUIRED I list my email address; when I wrote "none," the clerk was upset; eventually a judge required me to sign an attestation that I do not use email.
Just seemed ridiculous that Tennessee's court systems even ask for this, let alone assume everybody has/uses email. Plus, it's all public information...
This is incredibly silly.
If you smashed your computer with a sledgehammer you would also be unable to access those documents.
Do you stop there? What if they host their site on GCP? Amazon? Azure? They're all in the ad business. It's a slippery slope to a whitelist-only Internet.
My own personal DNS does not resolve to any Google/Facebook products, reducing profiling; but by denying their ad-revenue, I also deny myself access to information which IMHO should be truly available to the public (without using a private company's infrastructure).
I absolutely understand that many people will just say "don't block them, then." My argument is that governments should not host public items on private servers.
