S.C. Code Regs. 38-901 - Installation and Maintenance of Videotaping Equipment in Traffic Enforcement Vehicles
A.
Regulations in this Article apply to videotaping equipment installed pursuant
to S.C. Code Ann. 56-5-2953 and to videotaping equipment purchased with funds
collected under S.C. Code Ann. 56-1-286 and S.C. Code Ann. 56-5-2951 for the
purpose of supplying and maintaining vehicle videotaping equipment to the
Department, as well as all grant funds received by the Department for the
purchase and maintenance of such equipment.
B. Videotaping equipment purchased with the
funds identified in State Regulation Regulation 38-901(A)will be installed in
law enforcement vehicles used for traffic enforcement in a manner determined
solely by the Department. The Department will prioritize distribution of
videotaping equipment based on a county's DUI activity, and must distribute the
equipment in a manner designed to ensure that the equipment goes first to those
law enforcement agencies that have the highest volume of DUI enforcement
activity. The Department must recommend to individual law enforcement agencies
that officers who have the highest number of DUI arrests be given priority for
receipt of the videotaping equipment.
C. The Department will establish procedures
for use in designated service centers to install, maintain, or modify the
videotaping equipment. These designated service centers, specified by the
Department, will solely be responsible to the actual work of installing,
maintaining, and modifying the videotaping equipment. Each agency receiving
videotaping equipment under this Article is responsible for insuring that
required maintenance of the videotaping equipment is conducted in a prompt and
timely fashion.
D. At the time of
installation, the Department will provide one case of videotapes with each
camera to the agency receiving the videotaping equipment. No other tapes will
be provided to the agency under this Article.
E. Each designated service center must
maintain records required by the Department detailing the history of the
service and/or repair of each piece of videotaping equipment.
