Privacy and Cybersecurity Lessons at the Intersection of the Internet of Things and Police Body-Worn Cameras

handle is hein.journals/nclr96 and id is 1521 raw text is: PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY LESSONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS AND POLICE BODY-WORN CAMERAS* PETER SWIRE* & JESSE WOO'** Prepared for the North Carolina Law Review symposium on police body-worn cameras (BWCs), this Article shows that BWCs can be conceptualized as an example of the Internet of Things (Io T). By combining the previously separate literatures on BWCs and loT, this Article shows how insights from each literature apply to the other. Part I adopts the loT definition of (1) a sensor connected to the Internet that (2) stores and/or processes data remotely, typically in the cloud. Applied to BWCs, the camera is a sensor, and the video footage and related data are stored outside of the original camera, often in the cloud. Building on this equivalence of BWCs and loT, Part II examines lessons from the substantial IoT literature for BWC privacy and cybersecurity. Part I systematically examines leading industry standards and Federal Trade Commission guidance that could be used to develop applicable criteria for good practice for BWCs. Analysis of this literature suggests three themes for operationalizing these best practices. First, police departments can and should learn from the Io T literature to improve privacy and cybersecurity for BWCs. Second, police departments should use their bargaining power to demand security and privacy best * © 2018 Peter Swire & Jesse Woo. ** Holder Chair of Law and Ethics, Georgia Institute of Technology Scheller College of Business.
