Stop Body Camera Paywalls Act prohibits charging for access to certain law enforcement camera footage.
The Stop Body Camera Paywalls Act mandates that states and local governments seeking funding under the Byrne grant program or the COPS grant program must certify that they do not charge the public for accessing certain camera footage. This includes body camera, dash camera, and correctional facility surveillance footage. Without this certification, they are ineligible for funding. The bill aims to ensure public access to law enforcement footage without financial barriers.
