Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a controversial bill into law that could charge the public hundreds of dollars for video from law enforcement agencies, including body-camera footage. House Bill 315 was passed during a marathon legislative session to end the year. In it was a provision that could cost people money to access video from police and jails.
Law enforcement could charge people for the estimated cost of processing the video. Governments could charge up to $75 an hour for work, with a fee cap of $750 for each request. In a statement, DeWine said he supports the public and news media's rights to access public records. He added that the process of redacting and processing body camera video is often long and time-consuming, and something police departments don't get compensated for.
