"Under the body camera language as we passed today, it would not be under FOIA," Pope said.
Under the current language of the bill, one would be allowed to obtain the body camera video if he/she is the subject in the video, criminal defendant in a pending criminal case, a person contemplating to bring civil action, a person whose property was damaged or seized on video, or the parent, guardian, or attorney of the defendant.
The bill states: "data recorded by a body-worn camera is not a public record subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act." |

| And all the government has to do is to say, "You aren't on the video.", and whether or not your visage appears, how will anyone know? |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
