FT 3-06: Transparency in Law Enforcement Act

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

Here is my cost estimate for the purchasing of body cameras outlined in Section 2i.

For my analysis, I didn't consider the costs of data storage and maintenance. These costs are almost certainly much larger than the actual cost of the cameras, so if you want, I can do an estimate for that too. I'm just not sure if the cost to 'implement the program' as described in the act only refers to the statements in Sec.2 (purchase of body cameras) or not.

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

If it's not too much trouble, Encke, that would be fantastic.

In order to start, I need to know how long videos will need to be stored. I've read through the act, and there is no specific storage timeline other than the 24-hour requirement. If the storage time is indefinite, then the cost is also indefinite.

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

OK, I've updated the cost analysis with the storage costs. Storage adds another 405 million, to a total of 705 million.

Thirty minutes remaining to vote. The only member who has not yet voted is Canis.

Canis hasn't even sworn in yet, so he wouldn't be considered a voting member.
