Law enforcement could charge people for the "estimated cost" of processing the video — and you would have to pay before the footage is released.

Governments could charge up to $75 an hour for work, with a fee cap of $750 per request.

Legal experts said this could affect access to video from dash and body cameras, as well as surveillance video from inside jails, which are public records in Ohio.

Hasn’t the tax payer already paid for these videos?

Ya but they don't want the poors to be able to see when the oligarchy's Secret Police kill an upidy slave.

So they're no longer accepting tax dollars for funding or did they forget who they work for again?

They work for the wealthy. The wealthy don't pay taxes. The police get tax money because they are enforcement for the wealthy.

Suddenly they understand why "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" is a fallacy.

Aside from the actual wrongdoing of course.

How does this work with FOIA?

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 10 points 11 months ago

There aren't any initial fees to file a FOIA, but there may be fees for gathering the info.

how will people pirate BWC footage of the cops?

The government has forgotten that they exist to serve the public, not the other way around. This is a natural progression of trump's idiotic idea to run the government like a business.
