Part of the series, Law & Legislation: This Year in State Reform
Privacy isn’t a partisan issue. Americans across the political spectrum have an interest in knowing when government can demand access to their private information—and what limits should apply when it does.
The Fourth Amendment places constitutional limits on government searches and seizures. Yet state and local governments can require private individuals and businesses to collect, retain, or provide information to the government, raising important questions about where government authority ends and individual liberty begins.
Join Pacific Legal Foundation for a discussion of how states can better protect Americans’ privacy, through legal and policy efforts. PLF experts will examine current and proposed state policies and showcase PLF’s reform models, like the No Government Trespassing Act 2.0. They’ll also share lessons from PLF’s recent cases and offer legal guidance to policymakers about the constitutional limits on government demands for private information.
