Assignment Details

Smartphones, the Internet, and rapid advancement of technology have come to influence all aspects of people's daily lives. However, as with any advancement in technology, there are always those who will misuse this technology for their own purposes-criminal and abusive. In fact, the developer of the ILOVEYOU worm, one of the most destructive computer viruses in history, faced no legal penalty in his nation because at the time, what he did was not a crime. This is but one example of many in which the law has been unable to keep pace with technology.

In this activity, you are tasked with conducting independent research to identify specific legal concerns and issues associated with technology. In your independent research, you must discuss one example involving technology and the criminal justice system. Then, either for this issue or a separate issue analyze the constitutional challenges that are involved with the technology that is used in the criminal justice system.

You may refer to the following for inspiration:

Electronic Frontier Foundation
EPIC - Electronic Privacy Information Center
Center for Democracy & Technology
Crime Has Gone High-Tech, and the Law Can't Keep Up

Social Media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter
Smart phones and watches
Cybercrimes
DNA retrieval and storage
