Video of fatal police shooting should be made public, commissioner says

New Brunswick's access to information and privacy commissioner has called for the release of a body camera tape that shows a fatal police shooting in Rothesay.

The decision comes after a 15-month access to information battle by CBC News.

In her ruling, Anne Bertrand had to determine who should be allowed to see footage collected from body cameras worn by police.

She decided that public interest trumps privacy in this case.
