Body-Worn Cameras Amendment (Fry)

Summary

• Amendment by Councillor Fry to replace the body-worn cameras motion entirely with a deferral pending: approval of a $200,000 VPD pilot budget request, a full cost scoping, and completion of a Privacy Impact Assessment by the Vancouver Police Board.
• Fry argued the full rollout was premature without a pilot and without understanding the full financial and privacy implications.
• Defeated; ABC-aligned councillors supported proceeding with the full motion.
