	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 69, as introduced, Rodriguez. Peace officers: body-worn
cameras.

confidential communication without the consent of all parties to the
communication. Existing law exempts specified peace officers from
that provision if they are acting within the scope of their
authority.
   This bill would state the intent of the legislature to enact
legislation to require all peace officers statewide to wear body
cameras to capture their interactions with the public.
