Abstract
The United States currently lacks a uniform federal privacy law. Instead, citizens rely on a patchwork system of industry- and state-specific protections. This paper analyzes the lack of data protections in US civil and criminal law and, utilizing international law as a model, recommends a framework to be implemented by the federal government. The criminal law analysis focuses on Fourth Amendment warrant exceptions and 5th Amendment concerns of compelled biometric data to unlock phones. A civil law analysis looks into the disparity between state privacy laws. Finally, international privacy laws from countries including Australia, Canada, the EU, and Argentina are used as a model for the proposed privacy framework.
