AI Summary
This bill directs the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) to develop criteria and a plan for the statewide use of body-worn cameras, which are defined as devices worn on a person that record both audio and video. SLED will consider factors like maintenance, data storage, usage, and privacy when creating these guidelines. To test their approach, SLED will conduct a pilot program in at least three counties and six municipalities of varying sizes. Six months after the bill becomes law, SLED must propose regulations based on the pilot program's findings to guide the statewide implementation of body-worn cameras by both local and state law enforcement officers. SLED will also act as the central coordinating agency for this initiative and will make recommendations to the General Assembly about any necessary changes to existing laws.
