Duane Morris Partner Eric Breslin to Moderate "Brave New World: What the Government's New War on Computer Crimes Means for Privacy Interests"

Duane Morris partner Eric Breslin will moderate "Brave New World: What the Government's New War on Computer Crimes Means for Privacy Interests" at the American Bar Association (ABA) Criminal Justice Section's Fourth Annual Prescription for Criminal Justice Forensics. The panel will occur on Friday, June 7, 2013 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The government has all but declared a national state of emergency regarding computer-related crimes and has effectively declared war on the perpetrators of such crimes. But what does the government's new-found zeal in this area portend for the right to privacy? To what extent is the government using traditional law enforcement tools in ways that push the boundaries of the long-accepted contours of the Fourth Amendment? To what extent is the government deploying new technologies and techniques to investigate computer-related crimes (and even non-computer crimes) in ways that place Fourth Amendment protections under threat? This panel will explore the ways in which the government’s efforts to bring the fight to cyber and other criminals may bring the government into homes, offices, and other private spaces in ways never before envisioned. It will further explore whether Fourth Amendment law as we know it is up to fending off this looming threat.
