Bill > H7433

This bill requires law enforcement officers to obtain either the consent of the property owner or a valid search warrant from a judge before placing any audio or video recording devices on someone's private property to capture activities occurring there; a search warrant can only be issued if there is probable cause, meaning a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or evidence of a crime will be found. If law enforcement violates this rule, any audio or video evidence collected will be considered inadmissible, meaning it cannot be used in court proceedings against the property owner, their tenants, or guests, and the law will become effective immediately upon its passage.
