BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Legislature has passed a measure that keeps private some video taken by police or firefighters wearing body cameras.
The House on Thursday passed the measure 87-5 on Thursday. The Senate unanimously approved the bill last month.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Tax Department is revising figures for the state’s fourth quarter 2014 taxable sales and purchases after discovering errors.
Deputy Tax Commissioner Joe Morrissettesays specific business reports are being checked to find the source of the faulty information. He says it appears some sales figures were reported as millions of dollars instead of thousands of dollars.
The report released Wednesday showed that taxable sales and purchases in the state during the last three months of last year increased nearly 17 percent from the same period in 2013, despite declining oil prices during those months.
One figure that sticks out is a reported 567 percent increases in taxable sales and purchases in Bottineau.
Morrissette says a corrected report is likely on Friday or Monday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A state veterinary lab has confirmed the presence of bird flu in a commercial turkey flock but it’s still unclear whether it’s a highly contagious strain that has killed hundreds of thousands of poultry in the Midwest.
The North Dakota State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab says samples from the flock of 40,000 turkeys tested positive for H5 avian influenza after the Dickey County flock owner reported an increase in death rates.
State officials are still waiting to get confirmation from the National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa, on the exact strain of avian influenza.
The U.S. in recent months has seen an increase in cases of the highly pathogenic H5N2 strain affecting and killing poultry.
The risk to people from H5 avian influenza infections is low.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Law enforcement authorities say gang members headed to and from the North Dakota oil patch are setting up shop in the Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota, metropolitan area.
Police and sheriff’s departments from the region are putting together a metro street crimes unit to target outfits that include the “Fast Money Boys,” “Squad 400,” and “Lic Squad.”
Fargo Police Chief Dave Todd says gang members have moved to Fargo from Detroit, Chicago and the Twin Cities, and have participated in armed robberies, drive-by shootings, drug dealing and sex trafficking.
Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney says the special unit will also focus on outlaw motorcycle gangs, after learning that the Hell’s Angels had put “area motorcycle clubs on notice” that the Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo area is their turf.

More than 50 soldiers from the Guard’s 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment will be participating in the exercises.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A 63-year-old tradition of barn dances near a small town in southeastern North Dakota will continue, under new ownership.
Julie and Delon Cahoon, of rural Casselton, bought the property that includes Johnson’s Barn, which has been a popular Friday night hangout since the first dance in 1952. They were originally shopping for a home for cows and wound up with the iconic dance barn.
The Cahoons say they were convinced to keep the dances going after attending three dances at the barn near Arthur, about 35 miles northwest of Fargo. They say the atmosphere was electric and the dancers put on a great show.
The only change so far is the name, to Arthur’s Barn. The Cahoons will host their first dance on Friday night, featuring the band Jacked Up.
