How much is the NYPD charging for access to body-cam footage?

Answer: $120 per hour of processing

News network NY1 was recently billed $36,000 by the New York Police Department for 190 hours of body-cam footage. The network is suing the department, complaining the price is too high and impedes the government's purported commitment to transparency.
