I'm in full support of this bill, the costs upfront are definitely high, but the good that comes from this far outweighs the bad.

The real problem with this kind of bill is space for all the recordings. How long should they be kept? Forever? That would require a massive amount of memory space which isn't going to come cheap. A quick look around found an estimate that a 50 officer department is going to require 10 terabytes a month.

If you DON'T want to keep it forever, then there needs to be some system for how long it should be kept or for what reason. Either way, this bill probably needs a bit more debate.

It seems that a $130 gopro camera for every police officer in the south would cost $31,200,000 upfront, but we don't necessarily have to upload it to the county website, I'd be fine with the video staying in the local police's hq.

I guess I could get rid of that portion of the bill. At the same time, I think there needs to be some sort of necessary release of said video, whether that's in a court room where a defense lawyer inquires for it or something else, to make sure police procedure was followed.

That all police video must be made available by request and maybe some sort of fine when there's police video missing.
