–
Chairman
Lindsey
Graham
(R-SC)
and
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
announced
today
the
Senate
Judiciary
Subcommittee
on
Crime
and
Terrorism
will
hold
a
hearing
at
2:30PM,
next
Tuesday,
May
19,
entitled
“Body
Cameras:
Can
Technology
Increase
Protection
for
Law
Enforcement
Officers
and
the
Public?”
Last
month,
Senator
Scott
approached
Senator
Graham
about
holding
a
hearing
on
body
cameras—an
issue
important
to
both
South
Carolina
senators.
“I
appreciate
Tim
pushing
this
issue
forward,”
said
Graham,
the
Chairman
of
the
Subcommittee
on
Crime
and
Terrorism.
“I
look
forward
to
the
hearing
and
learning
more
about
this
important
issue
for
law
enforcement
and
the
public.”
"I
want
to
thank
Chairman
Graham
for
working
to
quickly
schedule
a
hearing
on
this
important
matter,"
Scott
said.
"I
believe
that
body-worn
cameras
will
keep
both
law
enforcement
officers
and
citizens
safer,
while
providing
invaluable
evidence
for
potential
investigations.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
our
efforts
to
find
the
best
path
forward
on
this
issue
at
the
hearing."
