Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies to obtain a court order before using imaging surveillance devices. These devices, which utilize technology like radar or infrared, can be used to gather information about people and activities within buildings. The bill mandates that law enforcement file a detailed application with a judge, outlining the purpose of the surveillance, the target, location, and timeframe, and demonstrating that other investigative methods have been unsuccessful. This aims to protect privacy rights by ensuring greater oversight of the use of such technology.
