The End Crimes to Clicks Act aims to limit the disclosure of body worn camera recordings under New Jersey's open public records law. The bill establishes that these recordings are exempt from public disclosure unless the requester is a subject of the recording or the legal next of kin of a deceased subject. This measure is intended to protect the rights of individuals involved in law enforcement interactions and to prevent the commercialization of such recordings, which can be edited to misrepresent the events and damage reputations.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "body worn camera" and "subject of the body worn camera recording," clarifying that the latter includes law enforcement officers, suspects, victims, and others directly involved in the recorded interaction, while excluding those who appear incidentally. The legislation reflects concerns about the potential misuse of body worn camera footage for profit and aims to safeguard the integrity of law enforcement and the privacy of individuals involved in these recordings. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
