Prohibiting law enforcement from placing surveillance cameras on private property

Signed into LawFiled Jan 14, 2026
Sponsor: Darren Thorne (R)
Latest Action

S Chapter 200, Acts, Regular Session, 2026

Jun 25, 2026

Summary

The bill bars police from installing surveillance cameras on privately owned land to gather evidence unless the property owner gives consent or a valid search warrant is obtained. It still permits cameras where officers have a lawful right to be, where the view is open to the public, or in urgent situations where a warrant cannot be obtained in time. The goal is to protect private‑property privacy while keeping limited law‑enforcement exceptions.
