Body Worn Camera Footage

Body Worn Camera footage is Private Data on individuals and is governed by MN Statute 13.82 while a case is active and by MN Statute 13.825 when a case is inactive.

The recommended interpretation of MN Stat. 13.825 regarding Body Worn Camera footage from the Data Practices Office of the MN Department of Administration is such:

Our guidance is that 13.825 classifies "data," - individual pieces of information - and the data subject is only entitled to those pieces where they can be seen or heard. If there are portions where they are neither seen nor heard, access is not available to them.

Fee

There is a fee of $0.25 per page for copies of all reports.
