RENO, Nev. (AP) — A sheriff in Nevada has asked the Washoe County Board of Commissioners to not consider a proposal to charge a fee for providing body-worn camera footage to the public.
Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam originally recommended charging a fee for the redaction process, including $50 for every 15 minutes of body cam footage or $200 for every hour.
Currently, the public can view body-worn camera, in-car dash camera, and Washoe County Detention Facility video footage at no cost in a private video viewing room at the sheriff's office. Balaam announced Monday that he is no longer recommending the fee, citing concerns from the public.
