Sources say the body cameras used by Border Patrol agents are Avon body cams, with social media posts claiming they can be located from at least 100 yards away, and even can trigger improvised explosive device attacks.

In a major policy change, agents for Customs and Border Protection will no longer use body cameras in the field. The agency says it’s because the cameras can be tracked and put agents at risk, raising the potential for bad actors to possibly rig bombs to explode when those cameras get too close.
