Data protection nightmare – How police can soon screen drivers

Date:

A new technology from Italian defense and IT security group Leonardo aims to allow law enforcement authorities to create an individual ‘fingerprint’ of drivers. The technology is now being tested for the first time in the US and data protection advocates are concerned. PLUS: Why cars are a real data protection nightmare.

Whether it concerns smartphones, wearables such as true wireless earphones and smartwatches, collars for our four-legged friends or books from the library: many objects in our connected world emit signals. On their own these may say little about us, but when collected together they create a unique digital fingerprint – a fact that law enforcement authorities now want to take advantage of on the road.
