Bill Summary
Altering certain provisions of law to require a law enforcement agency to require the use of body-worn cameras, subject to a certain policy, by each sworn law enforcement officer, regardless of rank, employed by the law enforcement agency while the officer is in uniform, in public, and conducting law enforcement-related duties.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that all law enforcement agencies in Maryland require their sworn law enforcement officers, regardless of their rank, to wear body-worn cameras when they are in uniform, in public, and performing duties related to law enforcement. This requirement is to be implemented according to a policy established by each individual agency, and it broadens the existing law to apply to all officers in these specific circumstances, removing previous distinctions based on regular public interaction or specific departments.
