"Release of the synopsis was not enough to satisfy the Washington, D.C.-based Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and Upturn, a technology consultant, which Tuesday released a report that gave Pittsburgh low marks for its transparency on body-worn cameras. The groups said Pittsburgh was one of only three U.S. police departments of the 50 it surveyed whose policy could not be found in the public domain. The others were Detroit and Aurora, Colo.
“Of course, the exact policy language matters, and we don’t know whether there are salient provisions that aren’t described by the synopsis,” said Harlan Yu, principal of Upturn."
