Does real bodycam video show a local policeman demanding that a Brinks truck driver open the cargo hold of a truck that was "a federal asset"? No, that's not true: The video is watermarked "A.I. BodyCam VIDEOS" by the page that posted it, which says in its page bio that it creates "fictional...Dramatic, scripted bodycam vids." The font of the on-screen "AXON" bodycam timestamp does not match the font used in authentic Axon bodycam footage.
The video appeared in a Jan. 13, 2026 Facebook post (archived here) on the Bodycam Stories page with text that read:
"He Ordered the Truck Open -- Unaware It Was a Federal Asset."
This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

Bodycam Stories tells Facebook users in its page title (archived here) that the clips on its timeline are "fictional police body cam & security footage for your entertainment.

The upper left corner of the opening screen of the video includes a watermark, identifying the video as AI-generated:

Also, the upper right corner of the video is dominated by an "AXON" timestamp, but it does not match the font used in authentic Axon bodycam footage.
Lead Stories found a @CNYCentralNews television channel's YouTube clip of New York State Trooper bodycam footage (archived here) taken during the Jan. 10, 2026 dog rescue to compare that video's Axon timestamp to the timestamp in the BodyCamStories video. The entertainment video shows no slashed zeroes, while real Axon footage uses slashed zeroes. Lead Stories' comparison graphic below illustrates the difference:
