A bill to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by amending Section 23-1-240, relating to Body-worn cameras, so as to PROVIDE PERSONS WHO ARE SUBJECTS IN DATA RECORDED BY BODY-WORN CAMERAS MAY REQUEST AND MUST RECEIVE RECORDED DATA WITHOUT PURSUING ACTIONS UNDER THE RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OR CIVIL PROCEDURE, OR BY OBTAINING COURT ORDERS.

AI Summary

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to allow persons who are subjects of data recorded by law enforcement body-worn cameras to request and receive that recorded data, without having to pursue actions under the rules of criminal or civil procedure or obtain a court order. Previously, only certain entities like law enforcement agencies and prosecutors could request and receive this body-camera data. This change provides more direct access to the recorded data for individuals who are captured in it.
