Ohio 's new bill would allow cops to charge people making public records requests for bodycam footage.

The charge would be up to $75 an hour and no more than $750 total.

The bill has seen a lot of pushback from local media and constituents.

The Governor and the police have argued that cutting together video for public consumption takes valuable resources away from policing.
