Lawmakers debate SB 360 on body cam access for families
Rep. John Alcala cites the Dominique White shooting as evidence of harm from police video withholding. The bill would require agencies to release body cam footage within 24 hours to subjects or attorneys and within 30 days to others when a firearm or deadly force is involved. Redaction allowed until investigations end, but officer identity cannot be redacted after completion and not beyond 270 days.

Lawmakers debate public release of police video bill
Representative Alcala cited community distrust of police and officials as he recalled civil unrest and a frayed sense of trust. Opponents warned a 24 hour video release requirement would burden small agencies and rush investigations, while supporters urged access amid three year debate.
