Bob, WTF is going on in NC?
First the "bathroom bill" and now this:

In yet another conservative move, North Carolina is now advancing legislation that would prohibit the public from viewing footage captured by police body cameras. The state legislature’s House judiciary committee voted on June 7 to approve a bill that would make police camera footage public only at a police department’s discretion. A person recorded on a police body camera or police dashboard camera would need a court order to get a copy of the footage.
“There would be no mechanism for law enforcement to release videos of public interest to the general public other than through a court order,” wrote the ACLU of North Carolina in a statement.

yeah, the legislature down there has done some really backwards, neanderthal-sorts of things. It's a somewhat progressive state but, like other states around the country, Republicans realize they can't win at the ballot box so they gerrymander districts to ensure their knuckle-dragging ideology keeps citizens enslaved.
