re: SC woman's claims of being harassed by 'white cop' are questioned as new footage emerges

I was not aware the ACLU was changing it's tune.

From your last link...

One of the more significant changes involves what kind of video is subject to public release and what kind is not. Our view is that for privacy reasons, the majority of body-camera video should not be subject to public release. The exception is where there is a strong public interest in that video that outweighs privacy concerns: where there is a use of force, or a complaint against an officer. In the prior version, we also recommended that any video of a felony arrest be in that category, but we’ve decided that’s too broad, because it would encompass a wide variety of DUI and other routine arrests that, in the absence of a use of force or complaint against an officer, are not of vital public importance.

Translation: when there is an official complaint or allegation of abuse against a police officer, we think the footage should be released. But if someone wants to just spout off on social media about how law enforcement "harassed" and "abused" them, they should be able to have free reign without the law enforcement agency being able to set the record straight or defend themselves in the court of public opinion.
