      It’s up to the public how they respond. The point here is not setting a precedent for police withholding bodycam footage regardless of who request. We can’t open any doors for police to try and withhold footage more than they already do. This time it just an embarrased celebrity but next time it might be copes wrongfully arresting, killing, etc. I do tngicr a shit about JT but I do care that body cam footage stays public information.
