Policy change after bodycam footage deleted in George Pino fatal boat crash.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is updating its guidelines regarding the use of body cameras in response to concerns raised about how officers handled the footage from the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash involving George Pino. The crash resulted in the tragic death of Lucy Fernandez and serious injury to another teenager. The FWC emphasized that there was no wrongdoing by the responding officers but identified a gap in its current policy that did not clearly instruct officers in support roles on how to categorize their body camera videos. They have acknowledged the need for increased clarity and accountability in their policy and are taking immediate steps to revise it. George Pino, the real estate broker involved in the crash, has surrendered and is facing a felony charge related to the incident. These updates come amidst ongoing questions about the investigation into the crash, including concerns about witnesses not being contacted and the lack of a sobriety test for Pino at the scene.
