1. CLAIM
Washington County claims no bodycam footage exists of Tyler Robinson's surrender on September 11, 2025, meaning every arresting deputy violated Utah state law requiring body-worn camera activation.12

2. ASSESSMENT
MISSING CONTEXT. Available sources indicate the county denied a records request for *surveillance* (CCTV) footage of the surrender due to a 30-day retention policy, not bodycam footage; no verified statement confirms a denial specifically for bodycams, and the circumstances of a pre-arranged plainclothes surrender raise questions about whether body-worn cameras were required or used.34

3. EVIDENCE
Tyler Robinson, accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, surrendered voluntarily around 4 a.m. on September 11 to the Washington County Sheriff's Office after a family friend (retired detective) contacted Sheriff Nate Brooksby; the sheriff arranged a "peaceful, gentle" handover using plainclothes deputies with Robinson's parents present to avoid alarming him, as he feared being shot.567 In November 2025, KUTV 2News reported the Sheriff's Office denied a public records request for surveillance video showing Robinson and his parents entering the facility, stating no such footage existed or it wasn't preserved after 30 days; this sparked cover-up claims but referred to fixed CCTV, not body-worn cameras.43 No sources mention bodycam footage from the surrender; prior bodycam references are unrelated (e.g., Robinson's 2022 fender-bender).8 Utah Code § 77-7a-104 requires officers *using* a body-worn camera to activate it for "law enforcement encounters" (including arrests) unless exceptions apply (e.g., undercover operations, victim interviews); plainclothes deputies in a non-confrontational surrender may not trigger standard activation.2

4. SOURCE CHECK
@ProjectConstitu (Project Constitution) is an X account with 339 engagements on this post, focused on the Robinson case; it shares court documents, questions prosecution evidence (e.g., bullet mismatch claims), and tags media/conservative figures; recent coverage includes cease-and-desist threats from Turning Point USA over related claims.910

5. CRITICAL CONTEXT
Skepticism stems from the high-profile nature of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination (a conservative icon killed by a local suspect leaving anti-fascist shell casings), combined with missing surveillance video reported by local media, fueling cover-up narratives amid ongoing pretrial disputes (e.g., closed hearings, evidence challenges). Legitimate questions exist about footage preservation and transparency in a potential death-penalty case, but the post amplifies unverified law-breaking claims; the attached image appears to be a video/audio waveform screenshot (possibly from unrelated or obtained footage) labeled "GOOD" with Project Constitution branding, but its relevance to bodycams is unclear.

STRONGEST SUPPORTING ARGUMENT
KUTV 2News confirmed the Sheriff's Office denied a records request for video of the surrender, claiming none exists or wasn't retained, which aligns with the post's "ZERO" footage assertion; Utah Code § 77-7a-104 mandates body-worn camera activation for law enforcement encounters like arrests, so if deputies effected custody without recording, it could violate the statute requiring documentation of any failure to activate.32

STRONGEST COUNTERARGUMENT
The reported denial was for *surveillance CCTV* (fixed cameras), not body-worn cameras, per KUTV's investigation and multiple outlets; the surrender involved plainclothes deputies in a pre-arranged, non-confrontational setting (no uniforms, parents present), likely exempting standard bodycam protocols under exceptions for undercover-like ops or non-investigative contacts, with no sources confirming bodycams were used or required.462

BOTTOM LINE
This is false-the county denied surveillance (CCTV) footage due to retention policy, not bodycam footage, and the plainclothes voluntary surrender likely didn't require bodycams under Utah law. The post conflates video types and overstates a legal violation without evidence.
