NC not alone: Other states blocking access to police body camerafootage

As of October 1, North Carolina will bar police footage from the public domain, but the state is far from alone in seeking to block access to footage of police encounters. At least 19 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws on public access to police body camera footage, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the National Conference of State Legislatures, which track such laws. The police should not be allowed to keep the footage from bodycams. Some have argued that public release will influence jurors, so if it is to be kept private control of the footage should be turned over to an independent agency, so police can't alter or edit it in any way. The raw footage can then be viewed by the defense and prosecutor and finally the judge and jury. Police should also not have the power to turn the camera on or off -- it always remains on while they are on duty. |
