Louisiana HB1054 allows self-authentication of footage from unmanned aircraft systems in certain legal proceedings.
Louisiana HB1054 establishes rules for the self-authentication of footage from unmanned aircraft systems in criminal, juvenile, family court, and civil forfeiture cases. A party can introduce such footage if they provide written notice at least 45 days before trial. The footage is deemed self-authenticating unless the defendant demands the operator's testimony within 30 days of receiving notice. The footage is considered self-authenticating if no demand is made. The certificate must include details like the operator's name, recording date, and a statement of accuracy.
