The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association is suing New York City to stop the release of body camera video footage without a court order.

According to reporting from The New York Times, “So far, the Police Department, under Commissioner James P. O’Neill, has released edited footage of three police shootings, including two that werefatal. But in the lawsuit, union lawyers argue that the videos — raw or edited — are personnel records shielded from public disclosure by Section 50-a of the state Civil Rights law, a statute that also protects officers’ performance evaluations and disciplinary records.”
