Presented by: Joel Schwarz, Esq. ’92, Adjunct Professor at Albany Law School and Matthew Tokson, Professor of Law, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law This presentation will dive into the cutting-edge legal battles reshaping privacy and policing in the digital age. Participants will explore how emerging technologies are testing the limits of the Fourth Amendment, our courts, and our own perceptions of privacy and private spaces. Panelists will discuss timely examples, which may include AI-assisted surveillance, geofence warrants, government access to commercial data, vehicle tracking, and smart car surveillance (a/k/a vehicle telematics).
