The Fight to Release Body-Camera Footage in Section 1983 Litigation
By Marc Betinsky and Julie Moroney
Body-worn cameras were heralded as a promising innovation in the fight against crime and police misconduct. But in the decade since their introduction, victims of police misconduct and their advocates first had to fight to get officers to wear the cameras. Then, advocates had to fight to get officers to turn on the cameras. And now, the latest round of the fight lies in convincing municipalities to actually release the footage.
In this Minnesota Lawyer article, Marc Betinsky and Julie Moroney explore the ongoing battle to secure the release of body-worn camera footage and the legal challenges posed by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
