Concerns body worn cameras for law enforcement officers.

S 218 requires most uniformed state, county, and municipal patrol officers and "operational detectives" (non-uniformed officers working outside stations) in New Jersey to wear body-worn cameras recording audio and video during official duties. Exceptions include undercover work, administrative roles, meetings with confidential informants, surveillance, and specific investigative scenarios. The bill specifies cameras must activate during public encounters (e.g., responding to calls), remain on until the encounter ends, and can be temporarily deactivated only under limited circumstances like emergency medical requests. Funding may come from forfeiture funds or other sources, and the bill clarifies key terms like "operational detective" and "body-worn camera" to align with existing law.
