The government violates the privacy rights of individuals on pretrial release when it continuously tracks, retains, and shares their location, EFF explained in a friend-of-the-court brief filed in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Electronic monitoring transforms individuals' homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods into digital prisons, revealing sensitive, private information. Location data, especially high-precision GPS data, is recognized as sensitive and private.
The plaintiffs on pretrial release do not waive their reasonable expectation of privacy in location information. EFF emphasizes that electronic monitoring is invasive, ineffective, and does not justify privacy intrusion.
