LAW 7203 - Criminal Procedure in the Digital Age


Credits: 2

Examines how law enforcement officers use new technology in combating crime and how the law regulates the use of such technology. Can constitutional language that pre-dates the discovery of electricity and the invention of the telephone, the computer, and the internet adequately address questions raised by big data policing, mass surveillance, and cross-border cyber-investigations? How can longstanding legal doctrines be adapted to meet the challenges of the digital age? How should the law balance individual interests in privacy and dignity against interests in security and efficiency? Should such matters be regulated through legislation or through case law?
