SUMMARY
This amendment is the minority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary. This amendment provides that a camera or electronic surveillance equipment may be placed pursuant to a warrant. The amendment requires a person who places a camera or electronic surveillance equipment on the private property of another with either the landowner's permission or pursuant to a warrant to label the camera with the person's name and contact information. It allows a landowner to remove or disable a camera or electronic surveillance equipment placed without written consent or pursuant to a warrant or that is not labeled.
This amendment creates exceptions for the use of cameras to deter theft or vandalism of a motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is temporarily parked and for electronic devices that are implanted or attached to animals to identify, monitor and track them.
The bill makes a violation of the prohibition a civil violation for which a fine of $100 for each day of the violation may be adjudged. This amendment limits the fine to $500 for a violation.
