Overview

The Supreme Court’s upcoming decision in Chatrie v. United States (expected late June/early July) will be the Court’s first word on whether Google location history data is private and whether geofence warrants violate the Fourth Amendment. The opinion will likely shape how courts, practitioners, and technologists think about privacy rights in electronic data for years to come — and, critically, what that means for AI technology and civil liberties.

Join the NACDL Fourth Amendment Center, the R Street Institute, and the AI and Justice Consortium for an expert discussion unpacking the decision and what comes next. A distinguished panel of legal scholars, civil liberties advocates, and practitioners will examine the ruling’s Fourth Amendment framework, its consequences for defendants and defense counsel, and the legislative and policy responses it may require.
