Spokane County Sheriffs Office Proposes Body Camera Fees: A New Era for Public Records Access
The Spokane County Sheriffs Office is considering charging fees for body camera footage requests, with a proposed rate of seventy-eight cents per minute for redaction time. This move aims to address the surge in requests from social media creators, particularly YouTube channels, who use the free videos to generate income online. The new fees would exempt individuals involved in incidents, their lawyers, and certain state commission directors. However, the proposal may disproportionately impact everyday people and journalists, while big creators might cease requesting footage altogether. A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for Tuesday at two p.m. in the Public Works Building.
