AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -- SEARCH WARRANTS -- INDICTMENTS, INFORMATION AND COMPLAINTS -- BILL OF RIGHTS ENHANCEMENT

HB 5359 requires law enforcement to get a person's consent or a search warrant before placing audio or video recorders on their private property to capture activities there. If violated, any evidence recorded without consent or a warrant cannot be used in court against the property owner, tenant, or guest. The bill also prevents prosecution in this state for the same criminal acts if the person was previously acquitted in federal court or another state, unless new evidence emerges that strongly supports prosecution.
