This is tough. I see the intent and logic in this bill. At its core, this is a win for citizen privacy and data protection. It protects the integrity of criminal investigations, and limits public outrage without context. (E.g., a 30-second clip of a cop tackling someone presented as police brutality, omitting the previous 30 seconds of the individual resisting arrest or being a hazard to the health of himself or others.) The downside, of course, is transparency at a time when public trust in police and proper oversight is at an all-time low. And the "oversight" piece of this is critical. We simply don't believe answers like, "Our internal investigation shows that the officer acted correctly." So I do think this is the right move, but this needs to be coupled with real reform in independent police oversight and investigation.
