New policing laws in California for 2019

In an effort to increase transparency in law enforcement, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 1421, which allows public access to internal investigations of police shootings and other use of force cases, as well as records involving sexual assault by an officer. A second measure, AB 748 doesn’t take effect until July. It will require body camera footage of police shootings and use of force cases to be released within 45 days, unless it would interfere with the investigation. Alyana Gomez reports
