Supreme Court of South Carolina

State v. Kenneth Taylor

February 23, 2022

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the term “show” in S.C. Code §56-5-2953(A) requires a DUI incident‑site video to visually depict the defendant and officer during the Miranda advisement, and that suppression of evidence, not automatic dismissal of the DUI charge, is the proper remedy when that visual requirement is not met. The Court affirmed the lower courts' dismissal of the charge but clarified the future remedial approach.
