Body Worn Camera Footage

Once completed, the requester will receive a downloadable Evidence.com link via email to access the video(s) unless an alternative storage medium has been requested.
Pursuant to Ohio H.B. 315: A state or local law enforcement may charge a requester the actual cost associated with preparing video for inspection or production, not to exceed seventy-five dollars per hour of video produced, nor seven hundred fifty dollars total. As used in this division, “actual cost,” with respect to video records only, means all costs incurred by the state or local law enforcement agency in reviewing, blurring or otherwise obscuring, redacting, uploading, or producing the video records including but not limited to storage medium on which the record is produced, staff time, and any other relevant overhead necessary to comply with the request.
