MS HB1090

Amends existing law to require positive verification of the driver's identity when manually operated automated recording equipment is used to enforce traffic violations and collect fines or penalties.

Defines "manually operated automated recording equipment or system" as hand-held cameras or optical devices operated by law enforcement officers in conjunction with traffic signals or radar speed detection equipment to record license plate images of vehicles violating traffic laws.

Maintains the existing ban on fixed automated recording equipment for traffic enforcement, while creating a constitutional due process requirement for hand-held versions.

Amends Section 63-9-37 to include manually operated automated recording equipment within the state's recognition requirements for out-of-state traffic citations and Driver License Compact provisions.
