Is The Fourth Amendment Ready?<\/a> by Nathan Freed Wessler, Jennifer Stisa Granick &#038; Daniela del Rosario Wertheimer:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our cars don\u2019t just take us from point A to point B anymore. They now play our favorite Spotify playlists, read us our text messages, and make phone calls. They may collect audio and video inside and outside a car as well as GPS-coordinates. They may one day even scan passengers\u2019 eyes and purportedly determine their restaurant preferences by assessing our emails\u2019 \u201cemotional tone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Modern cars are essentially roving computers, recording and storing unprecedented types and quantities of data about our personal lives \u2014 from cellphone contacts and music preferences to detailed location history and granular data about the operation of the car itself. The growing amount of personal information they collect and store raises a number of important privacy questions, including what Fourth Amendment protections we can expect against unjustified access by law enforcement.  <\/p>\n<p>The question has already come up in a case, Mobley v. State, before the Georgia Supreme Court, where we argue in an amicus brief that cops cannot conduct warrantless searches of computers \u2014 even if that computer happens to be on wheels. The brief was filed with the ACLU of Georgia and Riana Pfefferkorn at Stanford\u2019s Center for Internet and Society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACLU blog: Our Cars Are Now Roving Computers.
