Colorado State Law:
A PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO LAWFULLY RECORD ANY INCIDENT INVOLVING A PEACE OFFICER AND TO MAINTAIN CUSTODY AND CONTROL OF THAT RECORDING AND THE DEVICE USED TO RECORD THE RECORDING… Colorado Revised Statute 16-3-311 (1)
Colorado citizens have the right to record police officers, and some in the Fort Collins community believe all interactions with police should be recorded.
A bill passed summer 2015 ensures Colorado residents can record police officers, as long as they are not obstructing an officer.
“A person who lawfully records an incident involving a peace officer and has that recording destroyed by a peace officer or a peace officer seizes the recording without receiving permission from the person to seize it or without first obtaining a warrant has a private civil right of action against the peace officer’s employing law enforcement agency,” according to the bill passed in July.
A man who was placed in the back of a police car for recording outside a Colorado Springs police station will receive a $41,000 settlement.
