Yeah there’s some articles on it, been a little while since looking at it. I’m guessing the system couldn’t tell the difference between cameras or cruisers computers. So if a city is found doing so, they can cut access but officers still can call someone to access the information over the phone. Slows things down though.
Looks like it passed in 2014.

so I guess it's illegal to collect people's info for civil red light or speed cameras... However I don't know if that's a good enough excuse to dismiss the ticket. I feel like they'd issue them regardless of what SD says, but then they risk losing computer access.
Some cities in Iowa said they'd respect South Dakota's law while other cities said they wouldn't .Sounds like Sioux City, IA was the main city they got in a battle with.

People still getting tickets though, but kinda interesting SD made it harder.
Edit: I found the article! "Daugaard’s office sent Sioux City a letter on Tuesday evening saying Sioux City officers will only receive a registered owner’s name when making an electronic request for information. Officers will be able to call South Dakota dispatchers to gain address information for any criminal enforcement purpose."

But it also kinda makes me wonder how well states even log access. For example a state trooper pulled over a miami police officer at gun for speeding and leading her on a chase. So then the two departments had bad blood with each other, and even that trooper got harassing phone calls, threats, prank calls even pizzas ordered to her house. It's alleged that officers from 25 juridictions all across the state illegally accessed her info to retaliate. Wouldn't surprise me if Facebook or Google has stricter policies on viewing personal information than the states do. I heard snooping through users data at a lot of tech companies is a fireable offence. It seems like being a police officer is like joining some sort of cult if this is how they retaliate agaisnt a fellow officer for following the law.

- Spooky23 7y agoStates have sovereign immunity, if South Dakota pushed the issue they’d lose. All of that data exchange usually happens at the state level. The Florida issue isn’t a rule issue, its imo already a no-no.
