South Dakota would adopt the Uniform Electronic Recordation of Custodial Interrogations Act, which requires law enforcement agencies to electronically record (audio or video) police interrogations of suspects who are in custody at police stations, jails, or other detention facilities. The law defines key terms like "custodial interrogation" (questioning when a person wouldn't reasonably feel free to leave) and "law enforcement agency" to establish when and how these recordings must occur.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
