Your Ring camera. Your smartwatch. Even your car.

Everyday technology can create a digital trail that may become evidence in a criminal investigation.

But just because technology creates the evidence doesn’t mean police can access it without limits.

The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. When police obtain digital information from your devices, vehicles, cameras, or other technology, how that information was obtained matters.

Was there a warrant? Was one required? Did an exception apply?

Swipe through to learn more about the technology that could be creating evidence and why your rights still matter.

Your phone should be a tool -- not act like a spy.
The Fourth Amendment protects your digital privacy.
That means your location data is private, even when held by a tech company.
Know your rights. Protect your privacy.

📍 Your phone knows where you’ve been. But can the government access that information without implicating the Fourth Amendment?

In Chatrie v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed an important question about privacy in the digital age: whether law enforcement conducts a Fourth Amendment search when it obtains cell-phone location data from a technology company through a geofence warrant.

The Court held that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell-phone location information. The fact that this information is held by a third-party technology company does not automatically eliminate Fourth Amendment protection.

Geofence warrants allow law enforcement to identify devices located within a particular geographic area during a specific period of time. That technology raises significant questions about privacy, probable cause, and the government's ability to obtain information about the movements of potentially innocent people.

The Court's decision does not mean that every geofence warrant is unconstitutional. Instead, it establishes that obtaining this type of location information is a Fourth Amendment search and that the government's access to it must be evaluated under Fourth Amendment standards.

As technology continues to collect increasingly detailed information about our lives, the Fourth Amendment remains an important safeguard against unreasonable government intrusion.

Know your rights. Protect your privacy.

As students return to college and freshmen arrive on campus for the first time, it is important to understand your Title IX rights.

A Title IX accusation can have serious consequences for a student’s education, reputation, and future. But being accused does not mean a violation has been proven.

The Due Process laws of the Constitution, United States Supreme Court precedent, precedent from the federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education and published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) grant students accused of violating Title IX several very important due process rights.

If you or your student faces a Title IX investigation or allegation, understanding these rights is critical. You do not have to navigate the process alone.

Know your rights. Protect your education. Protect your future.
