Law enforcement could charge people for the "estimated cost" of processing the video — and you would have to pay before the footage is released.

Governments could charge up to $75 an hour for work, with a fee cap of $750 per request.

Legal experts said this could affect access to video from dash and body cameras, as well as surveillance video from inside jails, which are public records in Ohio.

So they're no longer accepting tax dollars for funding or did they forget who they work for again?

They work for the wealthy. The wealthy don't pay taxes. The police get tax money because they are enforcement for the wealthy.
