Footage pulled from police bodycams is not private, a New York appeals court has ruled.

The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association sued Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD last year, alleging violations of the state’s Civil Rights Law 50-A — which bars the video from being made public because it’s part of an officer’s personnel record.

But the Appellate Division-First Department Tuesday upheld a lower court’s ruling, saying edited portions of the footage could be made public without a hearing.

“We find that given its nature and use, the body-worn-camera footage at issue is not a personnel record covered by the confidentiality and disclosure requirements,” the Tuesday order reads. “The purpose of body-worn-camera footage is for use in the service of other key objectives of the program, such as transparency, accountability, and public trust-building.”

The NYPD released its first-ever bodycam footage of a police-involved killing in September 2017.

The tense 48-minute video showed the fatal shooting of Miguel Antonio Richards, of the Bronx, after he threatens cops with a knife and a fake gun.

PBA President Patrick Lynch said, “We believe that the court’s decision is wrong, that it will have a negative impact on public safety and on the safety of our members. We are reviewing the decision and assessing our options for appeal.”
