Debate continues over North Carolina body camera law
Debate continues over North Carolina body camera law By Zach Solon | April 28, 2021 at 10:19 PM EDT - Updated April 29 at 12:07 AM
NEW HANOVER COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - After a Pasquotank county judge ruled that body camera video of Andrew Brown’s fatal encounter with Sheriff’s deputies will not be released to the public, Governor Roy Cooper voiced his support for changing the law surrounding the availability of law enforcement video.
“I have continued to support a change in the law that would presume that these kinds of videos are public record and that a court would have to come in and find reason not to have them released to the public,” said Cooper Wednesday during a press briefing.
Cooper told the ranger Samples stabbed himself in the chest, according to allegations in court records.
Cooper said he was angry with his roommate and pushed the knife in a little bit more, according to allegations in court documents.
Cooper s attorney argued in a request for a hearing that his client s $1 million bail was excessive, according to court records.
During a March 12 bond hearing, a judge heard testimony that Cooper was ailing and poor, barely left the home he once shared with Samples, and was unable to use the house as collateral for a bond.
That s because Cooper and Samples had joint ownership of the home, according to testimony.

The historic Todd General Store in the mountain community of Todd burned down Thursday night, according to local media reports.
Built in 1914, the general store was a favorite stopping point for generations of visitors, from train travelers to bicycle riders pedaling along the flat Railroad Grade Road.
Though it had occasionally been vacant through the years, it remained a charming spot in a charming town that straddles Ashe and Watauga counties.
Most recently, Matt and Andrea Connell bought the store with the hope of returning it to its roots as a mom-and-pop store.
According to Watauga Online, the fire started around 10 p.m. Photos of the fire show the store engulfed in a towering blaze.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper signed a bill on Thursday allowing bar owners whose businesses were limited or shut down by COVID-19 restrictions to defer permitting fees to the state s Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission until they are allowed to fully resume operations.
The new law that was introduced by House Republicans and unanimously approved by state lawmakers also allows ABC permittees whose operations were limited by Cooper s executive orders to request a refund for any fees they paid during the 2020-2021 permit year.
