Body Camera Footage Elizabeth City: Pasquotank County Attorney

Pasquotank County -- April 26, 2021: “We’re glad that state law allows us to provide a private viewing of the body camera

footage to the family of Mr. Brown and after we received their request on Sunday evening, we began working immediately to make that happen as soon as possible.

 The law also allows us to blur some faces on the video and that process takes time. Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 132-1.4A, this may be done when necessary to protect an active internal investigation. 

As soon as these redactions are complete, we will allow the family to view this footage. 

We hope this occurs today, but the actual time will be driven by the completion of the redactions. We are also continuing to seek transparency within the law and continue our efforts to get a court order that would allow the video to be released to the public.”
Pasquotank County Attorney R. Michael Cox
