Technology is growing at a rapid pace, and the law is often unable to keep up with those advancements. One area that has a lot of gray space is biometric information and your right to privacy. Many law enforcement divisions are turning to biometric scanning as a way of finding offenders in a crowd. From voice scans to iris scans and facial recognition to fingerprint detection, all of this is related to biometric information. Your biometric information is unique to you. If your information gets into the wrong hands, it could be used against you for a variety of nefarious purposes.
If you believe that your right to privacy as it relates to your biometric information has been violated, it is important to take action and protect your rights under the law. The law lays a framework for protecting you against unlawful search and seizure. In some cases, the collection of your biometric data could be related to an unlawful search of your person. If you have been charged with a crime, and biometric information is the only evidence available, you may need an experienced attorney who can defend you in a court of law.
A biometric information privacy act lawyer understands the intricacies of the law, the technology, and your rights and responsibilities. A consultation with an attorney helps you understand the aspects of your case. After listening to your situation, the attorney can inform you as to whether or not there is precedent or if you have a new type of case that could be tried in the courts for a violation of your privacy.
