The Chatrie decision represents the Court's first word on whether people have a privacy interest in their location history data, even if that data is stored by a technology company, regardless of how short the timeframe is for the government request. The opinion will shape how courts, practitioners, and technologists think about privacy rights in electronic data for years to come — and, critically, what that means for AI technology and civil liberties. NACDL’s Fourth Amendment center along with the federal defender’s office in Richmond, VA has represented Mr. Chatrie since the case's inception in 2019.
A distinguished panel of legal scholars, civil liberties advocates, and practitioners will examine the ruling's Fourth Amendment framework, its consequences for people charged with crimes and defense counsel, and the legislative and policy responses it may require.
Introductory Remarks: Logan Seacrest, Resident Fellow, Criminal Justice & Civil Liberties, R Street Institute
Moderator: Martha Minow, American legal scholar and former dean of Harvard Law School
Panelists: Michael Price, Litigation Director for the Fourth Amendment Center at NACDL and Counsel for Mr. Chatrie; Paul Ohm, Law Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center
