Act 22 of 2017 (specifically, Chapter 67A of the Act) established a new process for requesting audio and video recordings in the possession of law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania. Act 22 applies to individuals seeking “any audio recording or video recording made by a law enforcement agency.” The Right-to-Know Law does not apply to requests for these recordings. Once the completed Act 22 form is filed, the agency has 30 days to respond, although the requester and agency can agree to an extension.
Per our fee schedule, a fee of $300 must be submitted before the requested documents are released. For more information on Act 22, please visit the PA Office of Open Records page here: https://www.openrecords.pa.gov/RTKL/PoliceRecordings.cfm”
