Does the Georgia Open Records Act already protect sensitive police footage?

Does the Georgia Open Records Act already protect sensitive police footage?

Yes. Under the existing ORA (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq.), agencies may already refuse to release footage tied to active law enforcement investigations, and release is restricted for video recorded in locations with a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as inside a private home. Georgia also already has law against mugshot extortion websites. SB 482 goes far beyond these existing protections.
