Data from mobile video recorders is classified as closed records, meaning the general public cannot access the footage

Individuals seeking access to closed mobile video recorder data may petition the circuit court, which will weigh whether the benefit to the requester or public outweighs potential harm to law enforcement, officers, or persons captured in the footage

Courts may impose conditions on disclosure, including limiting the scope, designating time/place for viewing, or protecting trade secrets and confidential information
