This bill extends the maximum duration for tracking device warrants in South Dakota from 45 days to 60 days, and allows judges to grant extensions of up to 60 days each for good cause (instead of the previous 45-day extension limit). The bill also clarifies that tracking devices include GPS, pole cameras, cellular devices, and electronic video surveillance, and that officers have up to 10 days to install the device once the warrant is issued.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
