Evidence review for Georgia attorneys
Georgia law enforcement agencies across the state have deployed body-worn cameras, generating growing volumes of video evidence. Defense attorneys in Atlanta, Savannah, and Augusta handle significant amounts of body-cam footage in criminal cases.
Body-Cam Laws in Georgia
Georgia enacted SB 94 (2021) requiring body-cam footage retention for a minimum of 180 days. While Georgia does not mandate body-cam use statewide, major agencies including Atlanta PD, Savannah PD, and the Georgia State Patrol have comprehensive body-cam programs. Georgia's Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. 50-18-70) applies to body-cam footage.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
Georgia criminal discovery is governed by O.C.G.A. 17-16-1 et seq. Georgia has reciprocal discovery requirements, and prosecutors must disclose witness statements, scientific reports, and other material evidence. Defense attorneys are entitled to body-cam footage and other video evidence through standard discovery procedures.
