Show Notes
Georgia lawmakers are considering a bill, Senate Bill 482, to regulate the release of mugshots and police videos. The bill requires individuals requesting arrest booking photos to provide personal information and a notarized statement, and requests must be made in person. Law enforcement videos will be identified by name, date, time, and location, aiming to reduce the burden on agencies. Supporters argue it protects individuals from online exploitation, while opponents, including the ACLU of Georgia, worry it reduces transparency, particularly for police shootings or misconduct. The bill offers exceptions for press members and next of kin, highlighting the ongoing balance between privacy and public access.
