We can’t open any doors for police to try and withhold footage more than they already do. This time it just an embarrased celebrity but next time it might be copes wrongfully arresting, killing, etc. I do tngicr a shit about JT but I do care that body cam footage stays public information.
I should have clarified, guilt and location matter. If it’s in public space then all bodycam footage should be free game. That’s no different than if someone recorded it from the side of the street. If it’s in private space then it should be based on guilt. But again, I don’t like where that can go as well because the inverse is cops come into your home shoot you and that footage is locked away because it was recorded on private property and you are no longer around to consent release of that footage.
