SB307

Hawaii SB307 establishes the right to record law enforcement activities and provides legal recourse for interference.

Hawaii SB307 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish the right for individuals to record law enforcement activities. It defines "law enforcement activity" as any activity by a law enforcement officer acting under the color of law. The bill allows individuals to maintain custody and control of their recordings and any property used for recording. It also provides a private right of action for those whose recording rights are unlawfully interfered with by law enforcement officers. Remedies include punitive damages, declaratory and injunctive relief, and other appropriate remedies.
