The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware has settled a lawsuit against the Town of Dewey Beach after obtaining body-worn camera footage it said was improperly withheld following a public records request. The lawsuit, filed in March 2026 in Superior Court, alleged the town unlawfully denied access to body-worn camera footage recorded by six police officers. According to the ACLU of Delaware, Dewey Beach voluntarily provided the requested footage after the lawsuit was filed.
