Counties and Municipalities; clarify use of manually operated automated recording equipment to enforce certain traffic violations.
HB 1104 requires law enforcement officers to positively verify a driver's identity at the time of a traffic violation when using hand-held automated recording devices (e.g., handheld cameras). This applies to counties and municipalities enforcing traffic laws on public roads, ensuring due process before imposing fines. The bill also clarifies that Mississippi will only recognize out-of-state traffic fines from states participating in the Driver License Compact. These provisions define "manually operated automated recording equipment" and update enforcement rules for traffic violations.
