RALEIGH, N.C. A wide-ranging criminal justice measure focused on weeding out problem law enforcement officers in North Carolina and giving mental health aid to others cleared a House committee on Wednesday.
The measure received broad support only after the deletion of newly crafted language that racial justice advocates argued could make it harder for victims’ family members to secure access to certain police body camera footage.
Civil rights groups and Democrats on the committee had criticized those changes to what was included in the measure when the Senate approved the legislation unanimously two months ago. A bill sponsor said alterations occurred recently after additional meetings with the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association and other law enforcement groups.
