Abstract
In comparison with scholarship on law enforcement, much is unknown about the downstream effects of body-worn camera (BWC) footage on prosecutors, some of the most powerful actors in the criminal justice system. This study applies the technology acceptance model to 35 semistructured qualitative interviews conducted at the Coruscant County Prosecutor's Office (a pseudonym). Its purpose is to understand some of the key factors that contributed to camera footage's ease of use and prosecutors’ perceptions of its usefulness. Collaboration with local police departments on BWC implementation and the creation of convenient storage and sharing options seemed to contribute to positive impressions of its utility. The policy implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.
