WASHINGTON (June 11, 2026) – As smart home devices, fitness trackers, connected vehicles, and digital assistants become more common, the data they collect is playing a role in criminal investigations and court proceedings. This has raised questions about privacy, surveillance, and constitutional protections in the digital age.
Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a professor at the George Washington University Law School and a leading expert on surveillance and privacy law, is available to discuss how personal technologies are influencing criminal investigations as well as what consumers should know about their digital footprint.
Ferguson is the author of Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self-Surveillance and has written extensively on predictive policing, big data, and the future of privacy rights.
