- Title
CURBING COLLATERAL PUNISHMENT IN THE BIG DATA AGE: HOW LAWYERS AND ADVOCATES CAN USE CRIMINAL RECORD SEALING STATUTES TO PROTECT PRIVACY AND THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE.
- Authors
BORCHETTA, JENN ROLNICK
- Abstract
The article addresses law enforcement's rampant misuse of arrest records, focusing on the New York City Police Department's practices. It argues how such misuse has resulted in unwarranted punishment for unproven crimes and noncriminal violations, and has further led to racially disparate law enforcement practices. It suggests lawyers using existing sealing statutes as a tool to counter the police's misuse of arrest information.
