Judge Stephen Benson has ordered that local law enforcement agencies provide body cam video to a journalist without blurring or otherwise concealing the identities of officers who appear.
Superior Court Judge Benson, in his final May 13 ruling, ordered that video taken during the Chico police killing of Michael Oxley be unredacted within 20 days and re-released to journalist and plaintiff Dave Waddell.
Benson left in place, however, other parts of his initial ruling that favored defendants DA Mike Ramsey, Sheriff Kory Honea and Chico PD.
