Bill > A01682

This bill requires that all New York state police vehicles used for roadway patrol, crime prevention and investigation, and emergency/disaster response must be equipped with a dashboard camera. The legislation amends the executive law by adding a new section (§ 212-a) that mandates dashboard cameras in these state police vehicles. The bill will take effect on the first day of January following its enactment, and state authorities are authorized to prepare any necessary rules or regulations in advance of the effective date. By requiring dashboard cameras, the bill aims to increase transparency and potentially provide video evidence of police interactions and activities, which can be valuable for accountability, training, and documentation purposes.
