Requires law enforcement to inform detained persons of their detention, the reason, and when they are free to leave.
South Carolina S0719 mandates that law enforcement officers must inform detained individuals of their detention, the reason for it, and when they are free to leave. Failure to provide this information renders any statements obtained during the detention inadmissible in court. The act also requires the activation of audio and video recording equipment upon detainment. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
