they can, but the judge is doing a bad job, after the second round of asking the question, he should have said if you he didnt answer he was going to join for contempt and obstruction of a case, and also what gives him the right to order the investigation and not the court? he could easily tamper with the evidence

[@theduke7539]

body cameras cost between 150 dollars and 500 dollars. If the ATF has the money to give an agent a 1000 dollar rifle with a 1000 dollar optic, and a 500 dollar kevlar helmet and a 500 dollar kevlar vest with 300 ceramic plates and 1200 dollar radios all under the guise of protecting the agent's life and better improving their effectiveness in dangerous situations. Then the ATF absolutely has the money to by 250 dollar cameras for 2600 agents and it is unacceptable for the director to be claiming that. Either they are willfully not buying them or they are suffering from embezzlement which speaks volumes about their accounting office and their lack of internal affairs.
