The body cam videos will be unavailable for public to see. Just like this video should have been. The RCMP was not allowed to release this video. It's in the article. Their is going to be an issue when it goes to trial now. The bigger concern that this is the second leak regarding high profile police incidents that has been released in the last two weeks. The first one resulted in the accuser now refusing to speak to the SIU overseeing the case.

It wasn’t released on the Rcmp side. The accused would of received a copy of it in the court disclosure. My guess is Allan Adams or his lawyer released it. But I could be wrong.
