Bill on body worn cameras introduced last week

Contact: Shannon McClelland

Sen. Mike Padden (R-Spokane Valley) has introduced a bill concerning the use of law enforcement body worn cameras, SB 6408. The bill makes minimal changes to the current body worn camera statutes but does remove the sunset clauses which would ensure that these statutes continue to remain in law. The bill came out of a two-year-long task force which issued a report and set of recommendations in December. AWC is supportive of the bill and expects the bill to be heard soon.
