Asking Albany · Res 0192-2024

Prohibiting the search, with or without a warrant, of geolocation and keyword data of people who are under no individual suspicion of having committed a crime

Official titleShow

Resolution calling on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, A.84/S.296A, in relation to prohibiting the search, with or without a warrant, of geolocation and keyword data of people who are under no individual suspicion of having committed a crime.

The heading above is this same sentence with its legal opening removed. No words were added, changed or reordered.

What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Prohibiting the search, with or without a warrant, of geolocation and keyword data of people who are under no individual suspicion of having committed a crime. (A.84/S.296A)

Where it stands

The session ended before it was voted on. It was not defeated; it simply ran out of time, which is what happens to most legislation. It would have to be reintroduced.
