Bill > H5394

This bill amends South Carolina's laws related to eavesdropping, peeping, and voyeurism. Key provisions include: incorporating the use of digital technology, like generative adversarial networks, to create realistic but false images or videos without a person's knowledge and consent; increasing penalties for violations; requiring law enforcement to destroy items used in these crimes when no longer needed as evidence; and requiring law enforcement to notify additional potential victims if discovered during an investigation. The bill also clarifies that certain activities, like security surveillance and news gathering, are exempt from these laws.
