SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Law-enforcement agencies; body-worn cameras; required policies. Requires localities to adopt and establish a written policy for the operation of a body-worn camera system that conforms to the model policy established by the Department of Criminal Justice Services prior to purchasing or deploying a body-worn camera system. The bill requires such policy to provide that (i) recorded individuals have a right to review any audiovisual recording in which they are depicted; (ii) recordings be destroyed within 30 days unless certain exceptions apply; and (iii) the locality deploying the system review the recordings on a periodic basis to determine whether persons wearing the body-worn cameras are acting inappropriately or exhibiting bias.
