Alabama Representative Proposes Bill to Change Body Cam Protocol | Sept. 19, 2024 | News 19 at 4 p.m
SUMMARY: On September 9th, an Alabama representative filed a new bill aimed at enhancing public access to police body camera footage. Previously, access was only granted if individuals were subjects of the footage, and law enforcement could withhold recordings if they claimed it would affect ongoing investigations. The proposed bill stipulates that police can only withhold footage if they demonstrate that its release would significantly interfere with an investigation. Agencies must also periodically reassess whether recordings can be released and provide updates on delays, which cannot exceed six months. This move aligns with a push for greater accountability and transparency, especially following incidents like the death of Steven Perkins.

Red Couch: Fall Mums Tips
SUMMARY: As fall approaches, Bellingrath Gardens is highlighting the care of mums, which thrive in Mobile. To successfully grow mums, plant them in a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily and water them in the morning to prevent root rot. Pinch back the plants mid-summer for a bushy appearance, and deadhead spent flowers as needed. Use a balanced fertilizer, like Miracle Grow, but reduce application as flowers bloom. Mums may be affected by pests like aphids and mealybugs, which can be treated with insecticidal soap. Visit Bellingrath Gardens for more tips and seasonal displays during the upcoming Great Bellingrath Harvest.
