Bill > SB0183

This bill establishes new rules regarding law enforcement officers' interactions with private surveillance cameras, generally prohibiting them from tampering with, altering the direction of, or disabling a camera located on private property without consent. However, there are specific exceptions: officers can take such actions if they obtain the property owner's permission beforehand, secure a court order authorizing the action, or if exigent circumstances exist or officer safety is a concern while executing a warrant, provided they notify the owner within 24 hours after the circumstances change or the warrant is served, or obtain a court order and inform the owner of the action taken if the court refuses to issue an order. This prohibition does not apply to cameras used for observing wildlife, and the bill is set to take effect on May 6, 2026.
