Prohibits disclosure of body worn camera recordings under certain circumstances.
This bill restricts the sharing of body camera footage obtained through New Jersey's public records law without consent from people appearing in the recording. It requires written consent from all "subjects" (such as victims, suspects, or detainees) before disclosure, except for legitimate public health/safety purposes or compelling public interest. Violators face civil penalties of at least $1,000 per violation, plus potential fines and legal costs. The law specifically applies to footage obtained via public records requests, not general body camera use.
