Amid a growing outcry over police shootings of black men, many states are taking actions to restrict public access to police video shot by dashboard and body cameras.
In North Carolina — where Keith Lamont Scott was fatally shot last week by Charlotte police — a new law takes effect Saturday that some experts say will make it more difficult for the public to see video shot by police.
It's one of about two dozen states and the District of Columbia that have introduced or passed legislation in the past two years that impact public records laws, an attorney for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said Sunday.
