March 5, 2025DC wants $1.5 million for Jan. 6 police bodycam videos
From Washington Examiner:
In what amounts to a ransom demand, Washington, D.C., has set a price of over $1.5 million to release body camera videos from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot to a legal watchdog group.
Judicial Watch today told Secrets that the District lawyers said that there are over 1,756 Metropolitan Police Department videos covering 1,047 hours and that it wants $25 per minute to edit and produce the videos from body cameras worn by the city police during the daylong riot.
“There never has been a legitimate reason to withhold the January 6 police body cam videos,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “If they wanted the videos out for political reasons, they’d be public, but instead the D.C. government wants more than $1.5 million in order for the public to view its January 6 videos,” he added.
