Support the channel
Public records aren't always free. Agencies often charge to copy, review or redact bodycam footage. Here's how you can help us request more of it and publish it in full.
Ways to help that cost nothing
- Subscribe
YouTube @TheChestMount for full case files and @TheChestMountShorts for the short cuts.
- Share a case file
Send a full video or breakdown to someone who only saw the 30-second clip. Every page has share buttons.
- Submit a case
Found a news story that deserves the full footage? Send it to us, and we can credit you if we publish it.

One email when a new full case file goes up. Sign up at the bottom of any page.
