Use of Surveillance Technology by Law Enforcement

Summary

The bill requires police to limit the use of cameras, drones, license‑plate readers and facial‑recognition systems to specific public‑safety purposes, obtain warrants for facial‑recognition, conduct public privacy impact assessments before buying or upgrading equipment, and follow tight data‑retention and access rules. It aims to protect privacy while still allowing lawful investigations, but the measure failed after the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed it indefinitely.
