It's 180 days, anonymous. Also problematic:
-In public testimony, it was brought up that in the Mack Long case last April, an eyewitness recorded the shooting on his cell phone camera. Police then acquired that camera (by what means is not known, as police and the witness have not said word 1 about it since the incident was first reported). The police department has said to the family of Mack Long that that video is "unusable" and "obscured", but refused to show the widow, or family, that video. There needs to be an inclusion of 3rd party video acquired by police to also be released to family members, or the victims themselves if a police shooting/action occurs.

^The reason for this being, that eyewitness never released the video himself, and the police have the only other copy.

-To recoup court costs to anyone who requests a copy in court and is successful.

-Give unobscured copy to victim.

Is there a limit on the length of time the police can keep video obtained by body cam in a situation where they were called for assistance and no charges were filed and there was no investigation started or ongoing?

Is there a time limit under any circumstances and if so, what are the limits?
