Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der has ruled out any plan to in­tro­duce leg­is­la­tion re­strict­ing the pub­lic from shar­ing footage of po­lice-in­volved in­ci­dents.

Re­spond­ing a ques­tion from Sen­a­tor Melanie Roberts-Radg­man in the Sen­ate, Alexan­der said: “The an­swer is no. No. Un­der­line the word no.”

“It is not the Gov­ern­ment in­ten­tion to in­tro­duce leg­is­la­tion pro­hibit­ing, reg­u­lat­ing, or oth­er­wise al­ter­ing the pub­lic’s abil­i­ty to re­lease, share, or pub­lish footage of po­lice-in­volved in­ci­dents,” he said.
