The bill, enacted as R.S. 14:57.1, establishes the crime of vandalizing, tampering with, or destroying a crime camera system in Louisiana. It defines unlawful actions related to crime camera systems, which include causing damage, adjusting or modifying the system's functionality, tampering with its performance, or rendering it inoperable. The definition of a "crime camera system" encompasses various components such as cameras, license plate readers, and associated equipment designed to observe or deter illegal activities.

Penalties for violating this law include imprisonment for up to two years, with or without hard labor, or a fine of up to two thousand dollars, or both. This legislation aims to protect crime camera systems, which are critical for public safety and crime prevention, by imposing strict consequences for those who intentionally damage or interfere with their operation.
