Modifies provisions relating to the placement of any surveillance or game camera on private property
HB 561 modifies Missouri law to require landowner consent before placing surveillance or game cameras on private property. It also permits camera placement with a valid search warrant under Missouri or U.S. constitutional protections, or with limited law enforcement permission. Law enforcement permission is only valid if the camera faces public-access areas within 100 feet of the location. This bill directly affects landowners, property renters, and law enforcement agencies regarding camera placement on private land. The law establishes clear requirements to clarify privacy protections for property owners.
