In most cases, because of this bill, individuals mugshot’s will be kept private, ensuring their reputations aren’t forever tarnished before a guilty plea or finding is ever met, despite their presumed innocence.
This was only possible because the Utah Supreme Court approved and created the country's first legal services sandbox. The goal of the sandbox program is to get companies like Law on Call to find new and innovative ways to deliver legal services to low-income Utahns who do not have the means to afford a lawyer.
Technical violations should not result in jail, and this bill takes the first step to help make sure that doesn’t happen. The Sentencing Commission has already done a lot of great work on Utah’s probation and parole system, and this is yet another directive to help move the needle in the right direction.
Modern technology improves our lives, but is the law keeping up with it to ensure our right to privacy? The practice of "reverse warrants" suggests it's not.
