LSP locks in fees for body cam, vehicle video footage

The fee Louisiana State Police charges to the public to provide video footage from body cameras and vehicle dashboards is now permanent after being applied temporarily for the past year.

The law enforcement agency requires $10 for video recordings 20 minutes or less and 50 cents more for every additional minute beyond that timeframe. State police had been using this fee schedule for a year through an emergency declaration and adopted it permanently through a new government rule published last week.

The fees also apply to any video footage state police releases from a third-party security camera.
