Hanover's drunk raccoon is now funding body cameras

Hanover County's animal protection officers are getting body cameras, thanks in part to the county's famous drunk raccoon. Why it matters: Donations from the county's viral Trashed Panda campaign will cover more than half of the $65,000 program, giving officers a new tool to document animal cruelty investigations and gather evidence for prosecution. Driving the news: Hanover supervisors unanimously approved the body camera policy last week, joining Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield, which already use them for animal control. About $39,000 of the five-year program will be covered by donations from the drunk raccoon merch, which had raised over $257,000 for Hanover's animal shelter as of Tuesday. How it works: Officers will be required to activate cameras before arriving at animal-related calls involving the public and generally record the entire incident, per county documents. Residents can decline recording inside their homes unless officers are conducting an investigation, arrest or search. Officers can also stop recording if they believe no critical information will be lost or a supervisor directs them to stop. Routine footage will be deleted after 30 days, while recordings used as evidence could be kept for decades. The other side: While dozens of public comments supported the policy, some
