A Missouri Request to Exempt Witness(BS) from Video Recording is a formal request to the court to allow an individual or individuals to be exempted from appearing on video recordings when they are testifying as a witness in a legal proceeding. It is typically used when there are concerns that the witness’ safety, privacy, or other interests are at risk. It can be used in both criminal and civil cases. There are two types of requests: a request to be exempt from video recording for the entirety of the proceedings, and a request to be exempt from video recording only for a portion of the proceedings. In either case, the request must be accompanied by an affidavit describing the reasons why the witness should be exempt. The court will then make a determination whether to grant the request.
