On Friday's show: The Houston Police Department is revising its body-worn camera policy in order to retrieve footage from inactivated body cameras. The newly revised policy would allow the department to obtain body camera footage for a period of time after a police interaction, regardless of whether an officer hit record.

Also this hour: The annual Houston Auto Show is going on through the weekend at NRG Center. We discuss the growing role women play in what certainly was once (and maybe still is) a male-dominated industry.

Then, a report released earlier this month outlines ways Harris County authorities can better respond to sexual assaults.

And from the HISD new education system expansion planned for next school year, to a man suing companies that he says used AI tech to wrongfully convict him, to longtime Astros reliever Billy Wagner falling just short in this year’s Hall of Fame vote, our non-experts weigh in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
