Access to unredacted portable recording system data related to collision investigations permitted.
HF 2938 allows individuals involved in traffic collisions to access unredacted data from body cameras or other portable recording systems used in their collision investigation, rather than receiving only redacted versions. This directly affects collision victims, their representatives, and law enforcement agencies that must provide the data. The bill amends Minnesota law to require unredacted data access for collision reports under section 169.09, with limited exceptions: if access would interfere with an active investigation, the data is offensive, or it's classified non-public. Agencies denying access must provide a written explanation and information about seeking court review. This changes the default from redacted to unredacted data sharing for collision investigations.
