Stop Body Camera Paywalls Act

Summary

The Stop Body Camera Paywalls Act requires any state or local government that receives federal Byrne or COPS grant money to certify that it will not charge the public to view or copy police body‑camera, dash‑camera, jail or other law‑enforcement footage. If a jurisdiction cannot make that certification, it loses eligibility for those grants. The bill aims to ensure transparency and prevent paywalls on video evidence of police activity.
