November 9th, 2015 IRC Meeting

Review & Decisions

• H.2170 – An Act promoting the use of body-worn cameras by law enforcement – Here is Alex Marthew’s take.
• Boston Police Body Camera Use & Procedure ordinance

Also, since we backed the car right to repair bill, I wouldn't think there would be any issue with H.3383 – An Act relative to the digital right to repair.
