Prohibiting law enforcement from placing surveillance cameras on private property

This bill prohibits law enforcement officers from placing surveillance or game cameras on "private land" (defined as posted, cultivated, or fenced property) without the owner's consent or a search warrant. It directly affects landowners on such properties by requiring police to obtain permission or a warrant before installing cameras. The exception allows cameras in areas where officers lawfully stand and face public view (e.g., a public sidewalk facing a yard). The bill is currently in the Judiciary Committee after being introduced on March 20, 2025.
