Criminal Procedure - Evidence - Protecting Artists' Creative Expression (PACE Act)

Summary

The PACE Act bars a criminal defendant’s or juvenile respondent’s creative works—such as music, dance, visual art, poetry, literature, or film—from being used against them unless a judge makes specific findings. The law aims to protect artistic expression from being treated as incriminating evidence while still allowing it when it clearly pertains to the alleged offense.
