New limits on police camera interference
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah limits police interference with surveillance cameras on private property. Officers and people acting for them generally cannot tamper with, redirect, or disable these cameras. Exceptions allow action with the property owner's prior permission or a court order obtained beforehand. Officers can also act during emergencies or to protect officer safety, including while serving a warrant. The safety exception also covers a real, specific risk based on circumstances known to the officer. Afterward, officers must notify the affected person within 24 hours after the emergency ends, warrant is served, or safety risk is resolved. They must also seek a court order as soon as practicable after the emergency or safety circumstances end. If the court refuses, officers must inform the person about the camera action within 24 hours of that refusal. Cameras used for wildlife surveillance are exempt.
