Bill > H3870

This bill amends Section 23-1-240 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina to provide that a person who is the subject of data recorded by a body-worn camera may request and must receive the data without pursuing an action under the rules of criminal or civil procedure or obtaining a court order. The bill also clarifies that certain entities, such as law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, may request and receive the data for legitimate criminal justice purposes. The bill aims to give individuals more direct access to recordings of themselves, while still allowing law enforcement and criminal justice authorities to access the data as needed.
