Microphones were missing from Chicago Police vehicles 86 of the 1,700 times they were sent to the shop for maintenance on their dashcam systems over an 11-month period, records show.
There were another 29 times that cars didn't have their microphones properly synced to the camera systems, according to police maintenance logs between September 2014 and July 2015.
