Academics say it may be time to update a 1967 Supreme Court decision that forms the basis of biometric data storage by authorities in the US.Speaking to WBALTV, University of Baltimore School of Law professor Jose Andersen took aim at a 1967 Supreme Court decision, Katz v. U.S., that established the third-party doctrine, which states that giving that information does not give you a reasonable expectation of privacy.”In some ways, I think Katz has turned out to be problematic for the increase in technology,” University of Baltimore School of Law professor Jose Andersen said.The newsapaper notes that technology, like facial recognition, allows law enforcement to compare suspect photos to a database of more than 7 million driver's license photos, according to a Georgetown Law School report released last week.In a 2012 concurrence opinion on the Katz decision, Justice Sonya Sotomayor wrote, “This approach is ill-suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks.”
