A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.

    I the rules for body cam requests in the city I work for. It can only be denied for the following reasons:

    1. The video was taken in a private home and the homeowner does not consent to the release.

    2. The video is of a non-jailtime citation/interaction and the principal civilian captured on film doesn’t consent to the release.

    The second one is because the city is a tiny enclave for the super-rich (average new home is about 6 million dollars), and there’s celebrities and stuff getting pulled over pretty often. We had tons of ORRs from paparazzi for all incidents.
