SB 691 (Wahab, D-Silicon Valley)

SB 691 would require a law enforcement agency to update its body-worn camera policy to provide guidance to personnel who wear body-worn cameras. This guidance would cover the circumstances in which personnel are required to reasonably and temporarily limit recording medical or psychological evaluations, procedures, or treatment performed by emergency service personnel that may cause embarrassment or humiliation to the patient. “Emergency service personnel” is limited to state or local fire agency employees, such as firefighters and paramedics.
