From a Tyee article about proposed changes to BC’s freedom of information laws:

The government also asked the committee to rewrite the law so it can refuse access to security video from jail cells.

The reason for the request? The BC government doesn’t want to be forced to release videos like this one, from a holding cell in Victoria in 2005:

The fifteen-year-old girl in that video was tied up and tethered to the door of the holding cell for four hours. She later sued the Victoria Police Department and won. How do you think the case would have turned out if she couldn’t get access to the video?

And what does it say about the BC government that they want to cover up incidents like this?
