flag Georgia bill would limit public access to police video after deaths, requiring legal action for release.

flag Georgia’s House Bill 1223, under review in the House Judiciary Committee, would restrict public access to police body and dash camera footage of deaths after investigations conclude, allowing agencies to deny open records requests. flag Family members, defendants, and attorneys could still seek footage via sworn affidavits, with judges retaining authority to order release, but the public and media would need legal action to obtain it. flag Supporters say it protects grieving families from exploitation and viral trauma, while critics warn it could undermine transparency and accountability, citing past cases where video sparked national reform. flag Amendments are possible.
