Tenth Amendment Center: Permission not Required: “Constitutional Carry” Bill Introduced in South Dakota

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center PIERRE , S.D. (Jan. 11, 2019) – A “Constitutional Carry” bill introduced in the South Dakota House would make it legal to carry a firearm without a license in the state, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control. Sen. Lance Russell (R-Hot Springs) introduced Senate Bill 38 ( SB38 ) on Jan. 6, with eight cosponsors from both chambers. The bill seeks to repeal numerous sections of state law requiring state residents to have a license in order to carry a concealed weapon, while still allowing county sheriffs to issue permits. Under current state law , residents are required to have a conceal carry license to have a weapon in their vehicle. Former Gov.

A coalition of four Democrats introduced House Bill 5042 ( H5042 ) on Jan. 9. The legislation would prohibit “roadway surveillance” and bar police from using  ALPRs   unless “undertaken by law enforcement in the investigation of a particular violation, misdemeanor, or felony pursuant to a warrant or court order based on probable cause.” H5402 defines “roadway surveillance” as: “The act of determining the ownership of a motor vehicle or the identity of a motor vehicle’s occupants on the public roadways of the stat...

Tenth Amendment Center: Maryland Bill Would Require Police to Get a Warrant Before Accessing Smart Meter Data

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center ANNAPOLIS , Md. (Dec. 26, 2017) – A bill prefiled in the Maryland House would require police to get a warrant before obtaining any information collected by “smart meter” technology. Passage of the bill would help protect privacy and ensure personal information doesn’t end up stored in federal databases. Del. Alfred Carr (D-18) prefiled House Bill 56 ( HB56 ) in October. The legislation would prohibit law enforcement officers from obtaining utility data recorded by a smart meter without a search warrant. Smart meters monitor home energy usage in minute detail in real time. The devices transmit data to the utility company where it gets stored in databases. Anybody with access to the data can download it for analysts. Without specific criteria limiting access to the data, these devices create significant privacy issues. Privacy Concerns The proliferation of smart meters creates significant privacy concerns. The data collected can tell anybody who hold...
