Computer Search and Seizure

Computer Search and Seizure

What do the police need to do to seize your laptop? Can the government force you to turn over passwords or encryption keys? What are the situations in which your data is particularly vulnerable, and what steps can you take to protect it? This talk will teach attendees about their legal rights in information stored on laptops and other digital devices, including at the United States border or other places where the data may be particularly at risk. This talk will also provide practical advice on when to do when the police want to seize computers and how to secure device accessible information, whether on a hard drive or stored remotely.
