FWIW:
Answering questions posed by himself on his Law and Crime website, Abrams reiterated his previous statements that Live PD, had a “long standing policy to only keep footage for a few weeks absent a specific legal request to retain it.”

Abrams added, “The reason for this policy was so that we did not become an arm of law enforcement attempting to use Live PD videos to prosecute citizens seen on the footage.” He stressed that the point of the show was “to chronicle law enforcement, not to assist the police as a video repository for prosecuting alleged criminals.”
He also says he was informed by the show’s attorneys that Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore “never asked” for the footage, “nor did anyone else in law enforcement or any other attorney make a request to them for the footage before this week, over one year later.”

My question is whether Margaret Moore had any reason to suspect that such footage existed to even begin to think to ask for it?

I do. He was one of the EMTs we followed on Nightwatch. I think it’s safe to assume that’s how he landed his spot on Live Rescue.
“Live Rescue” might be returning next week. “Live Rescue: Rewind” says it’s new on Friday but the “Live Rescue” immediately following doesn’t say if it’s new or a repeat.
