Clark County judge rules CCSD must release body camera footage in Durango High School incident
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Clark County judge ruled Monday that the Clark County School District must release the body camera footage capturing an altercation between a school officer and a Durango High School student within 30 days.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and CCSD were scheduled to appear in court Tuesday in an ongoing effort to get CCSD to release the footage from the February incident.
The ACLU took CCSD to court over access to several documents regarding the investigation captured on cell phone video that appeared to show an officer grabbing a student by the neck and taking him to the ground.
