Policies that govern the use of body cameras could make this either a useful tool or an invasion of privacy. Come hear about the issues and participate in the discussion from 5:30 to 5:45 pm Monday, May 18, at the Eugene Public Library Bascom Room. Free and open to the public. Food and drinks allowed.
