West Virginia SB84 prohibits law enforcement from placing surveillance cameras on private property without consent or a warrant.

West Virginia SB84 amends the state code to prohibit law enforcement officers from placing surveillance or game cameras on private land without obtaining consent from the property owner or a valid search warrant. The bill defines "private land" as posted, cultivated, or fenced land. An exception is made for cameras placed in areas where law enforcement officers have a lawful right to be and facing locations on land open to public view, which do not require consent or a warrant.
