    You can read the state's FOIA law here, esp. Sections 30-4-50(A)(8) and 30-4-40(a)(3).
    Quote Quoting South Carolina Statutes, Sec. 30-4-50(A)(8)
    (A) Without limiting the meaning of other sections of this chapter, the following categories of information are specifically made public information subject to the restrictions and limitations of Sections 30 4 20, 30 4 40, and 30 4 70 of this chapter:
    * * *

    (8) reports which disclose the nature, substance, and location of any crime or alleged crime reported as having been committed. Where a report contains information exempt as otherwise provided by law, the law enforcement agency may delete that information from the report.
    Quote Quoting South Carolina Statutes, Sec. 30-4-40(a)(3)
    (a) A public body may but is not required to exempt from disclosure the following information:
    * * *

    (3) Records of law enforcement and public safety agencies not otherwise available by state and federal law that were compiled in the process of detecting and investigating crime if the disclosure of the information would harm the agency by:
    (A) disclosing identity of informants not otherwise known;

    (B) the premature release of information to be used in a prospective law enforcement action;

    (C) disclosing investigatory techniques not otherwise known outside the government;
