The law includes detailed requirements for recording, retention, and access. South Carolina was one of the first states to mandate statewide body-cam deployment.

South Carolina criminal discovery is governed by S.C.R.Crim.P. Rule 5. The prosecution must disclose all material evidence, including body-cam footage, to the defense. South Carolina's body-cam law provides specific access provisions for defendants and their attorneys.
