Body-Cam Laws in Oregon

Oregon enacted HB 2571 (2015) and subsequent legislation establishing guidelines for body-cam use. Portland Police Bureau, Eugene PD, Salem PD, and Oregon State Police have body-cam programs. Oregon's public records law (ORS 192.311) governs access to body-cam footage.

Discovery Rules & Video Evidence

Oregon criminal discovery is governed by ORS 135.805-135.873. Oregon provides for broad discovery, and prosecutors must disclose all evidence, including body-cam footage. Oregon courts have emphasized the duty to produce video evidence to the defense.
