The U.S. Justice Department now mandates federal law-enforcement agents, including those from the FBI and DEA, wear body cameras when serving search and arrest warrants.
This new directive, announced by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, aims to enhance transparency and accountability, aligning federal practices with many state and local police departments.
The policy requires agencies to develop implementation plans and federal prosecutors to create training programs to ensure body camera recordings are admissible as evidence in court.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
