SB 207 requires law enforcement to electronically record custodial interrogations of suspects, creating a permanent audio or video record of police questioning. This change updates South Dakota law to follow the Uniform Electronic Recordation of Custodial Interrogations Act, a model law adopted by other states to improve accuracy and accountability in criminal investigations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
