People Voice Concerns on Body Camera Footage Fee Increase
AUGUST 24, 2016 EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
The Coalition of Inner City Neighborhoods hosted the forum Tuesday.
EPD’s increased fee comes after House Enrolled Act 1019 took effect July first.
Police say, it puts a financial burden on an agency that wants to continue to use body camera footage.
While many agree the new law is a positive, many are concerned with the $150 dollar fee.
“For copies of film and stuff to $150 is ludicrous,†said Fred Cook, COIN CEO. “We’re in the low income area, people are working for minimum wage it ain’t no way in the world they can fit 150 dollars into their income.â€
Cook says he plans to take the concerns addressed to police and work with them to find a solution.
