privacy rights

This bill creates a process for law enforcement to request DNA search information from private companies and secretly collect familial DNA.
The State Auditor's office has released its statement on the appointments for Utah's newly-created Personal Privacy Oversight Commission.
State Rep. Francis Gibson has introduced a new bill to tackle this issue head-on. Privacy Protection Amendments, House Bill 243, requires a public, transparent review regarding law enforcement wanting to use new surveillance technology. This enables the Legislature to ensure that the appropriate guardrails and oversight exist to protect civil liberties while still achieving public safety.
States that wish to protect privacy rights need to change this by passing clear legal standards for law enforcement to follow that apply to modern technology.
