S 2305 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the discoverability of recordings found on police body worn cameras and vehicle cameras

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to fully disclose recordings from police body-worn cameras and vehicle-mounted cameras during legal proceedings. It mandates that prosecutors reveal all footage, including unused clips and outtakes, rather than only the segments they plan to use at trial. The law also sets specific rules for handling lengthy recordings, allowing prosecutors to summarize excess footage while still granting defendants the right to request access to the full files. Additionally, the bill clarifies how 911 call recordings must be shared with defendants and outlines procedures for protecting the identities of anonymous callers unless they are called as witnesses.
