Sponsor: Senator Kavanagh, LD 3
Committee on Military Affairs & Public Safety
Overview
Enables any county, city, town or political subdivision of this state (municipality) to establish a fee for requesting a copy of a video recording from a local law enforcement agency.
History
A victim of a criminal offense or a delinquent act that is a part 1 crime under the statewide uniform crime reporting program (UCR) has the right to receive one copy of the police report from the investigating law enforcement agency at no charge. Additionally, the court must provide, at no charge, the minute entry or portion of the record of any proceeding in the case which is necessary for the purpose of pursuing a claimed victim's right (A.R.S. § 39-127).
The UCR is administered by the Department of Public Safety who collects crime data from across the state necessary for the study of crime, the administration of criminal justice and cooperation with the federal government's UCR program (A.R.S. § 41-1750).
