Who Gets to See NYPD Body Camera Footage?

NYPD plans to have more than 18,000 patrol officers fitted with body cameras by the end of 2018.

A new policy requires New York City police to release all body camera footage of shootings and other instances when force is used and injury or death occurs. Jennvine Wong , staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society's Cop Accountability Project, talks about the NYPD's short history of using body cameras, why the footage has been so closely guarded, and whether the new policy will increase transparency and cop accountability.
