Posts - Bill - HR 5070 Federal Police Camera and Accountability Act
house 08/29/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure federal law enforcement officers wear body cameras during interactions with the public to increase transparency, protect civil rights, and promote accountability. This legislation also sets clear rules on when cameras must be activated, how footage is stored, and safeguards against misuse of biometric technology.
