Prohibits disclosure of body worn camera recordings without consent of subjects, except for public health or safety purposes.
New Jersey A1621 prohibits the disclosure of body worn camera recordings obtained under the State’s open public records law without the prior written consent of each subject of the recording, unless the disclosure is for a legitimate public health or safety purpose or a compelling public interest. The bill defines "subject of the body worn camera recording" as a suspect, victim, detainee, conversant, injured party, or other similarly situated person who appears on the recording and does not include a person who only incidentally appears on the recording.
