Current and emerging surveillance technology is subject to layers of regulation and compliance across industries.

In his talk, David will discuss:
 
  • The laws applicable across the board to all collection of personally identifiable information, whether video, audio or otherwise
  • The different rules that apply to overt and covert deployment of devices
  • The different rules that apply to public and private spaces
  • The different rules that apply to employee information and third party information
  • The specific criminal law rules that apply to audio surveillance and collecting video in sensitive locations, and consequences for their violation
  • Current thinking and best practices related to biometrics, such as face detection, facial recognition and other personal characteristics
