Yes, the body cameras were activated The officers involved were familiar with Mister Neely, and were aware that he had been warned against trespassing upon this specific location several times "First and foremost I must apologize to Mister Neely for this unnecessary embarrassment. Although this is a trained technique and best practice in some scenarios, I believe our officers showed poor judgement in this instance and could have waited for a transport unit at the location of arrest.
