COLORADO, USA — There are at least two use of force cases testing a new state law on police body camera footage – HB12-1250 requires the release of body-work camera recordings within 21 days of request for incidents in which there is a complaint of officer misconduct.
The law says if release of the footage would interfere or jeopardize an investigation, the release can be delayed up to 45 days.
