Requirement elimination that a vehicle be unoccupied when law enforcement attach a tracking device

SF 2318 removes the requirement that a vehicle must be unoccupied for law enforcement to attach a tracking device in two specific situations: when a stolen vehicle is reported to police and occupied at the time of attachment, or when a vehicle is fleeing law enforcement. For stolen vehicles, officers must remove the device within 24 hours or obtain a warrant, and if the vehicle is recovered, the device must be removed with any evidence collected after return to the owner being inadmissible. The bill also mandates annual reporting by law enforcement agencies on tracking device use in stolen vehicle cases. This directly affects law enforcement procedures and privacy rights for vehicle owners in these scenarios.
