The South Carolina Community Data Protection and Responsible Surveillance Act regulates vehicle surveillance data collection and use.

The South Carolina Community Data Protection and Responsible Surveillance Act aims to protect privacy and prevent misuse of vehicle surveillance data. It prohibits state and local law enforcement from using AI-based systems that track vehicles based on appearance. Surveillance data must be stored on servers physically located within South Carolina and owned by the state. Data retention is limited to 21 days unless tied to an active criminal investigation. Law enforcement must obtain a warrant to search surveillance data, with limited exceptions for imminent threats.
