Privacy In Public Spaces: The Reasonable Expectation Of Privacy Against The Dragnet Use Of Facial Recognition Technology, Mariko Hirose

Connecticut Law Review

Our society is steadily marching towards a world in which cameras equipped with facial recognition technology could be used to conduct constant and dragnet surveillance on people as they walk down the street. The law, as is usual in the field of privacy and emerging technologies, is lagging behind—no clear set of constitutional rules constrains law enforcement’s use of this powerful technology, especially because the prevailing axiom has been that there is no right to privacy in public spaces. This Article challenges the axiom and argues that the dragnet, realtime uses of facial recognition technology violates reasonable expectations of privacy.

A substantial amount of effort in recent years, in both research and policy, focuses on attempting to reconcile these viewpoints searching for a common framework with a common level of protection for citizens from both sides of Atlantic. Reconciliation, we argue, misunderstands the nature of the challenge facing effective cross-border data flows. No such reconciliation can usually occur without abdication of some sovereign authority of nations, which would require the adoption of an international agreement with typical tools of …

Pro Se Patrons In The Law Library: The Case For Privacy In The Digital Age, Christine Ford

Borgeson Paper Archive

Maintaining privacy and confidentiality of library patron records is especially difficult in a digital world, but is increasingly critical given the large amount of information that is and can be collected. Privacy is especially important in a law library with respect to pro se patrons because they are entitled to two layers of protection: general library protections (statutorily and ethically) and a work product privilege protection for those who are either actively in or in anticipation of litigation. In this digital era, libraries are not taking a holistic view of records and need to be mindful of how personal information …
