Nevada Court: Police Body Video Of Juveniles Not Open Record

CARSON CITY, Nev. — The Nevada Supreme Court says police body-camera video involving juveniles is not a public record.

 

A three-justice panel on Thursday denied a bid by a national Republican political group to obtain Las Vegas police body camera video footage from a 2017 incident involving juveniles, including Democratic state Attorney General Aaron Ford's son.

 

A three-justice panel upheld a lower court ruling that the video is confidential because it involved juveniles.

 

The court says a judge in Las Vegas should still decide if other records, such as the police report and witness statement, should be examined for release under state public records law.
