LINCOLN — Legislation introduced in the Nebraska Unicameral would require law enforcement agencies to save body-worn camera recordings for at least six months, unless they become part of a criminal investigation.
This would allow them to be part of the category of record kept from public disclosure. It would also prohibit tampering with the records or releasing them without specific agency permission.
In addition, the proposal outlines a timeline for agencies using body-worn cameras to adopt training policies and report those to the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.
