Prohibits disclosure of body worn camera recordings under certain circumstances.

Summary

The bill bars anyone who obtains a police body‑worn camera recording under the Open Public Records Act from releasing it unless they get written consent from every person shown, or the release serves a legitimate health‑or‑safety purpose or a compelling public interest. Violations are a disorderly persons offense and can also trigger civil lawsuits with damages of at least $1,000 per breach. The measure aims to stop misuse of such footage, especially on social media.
