The row continutes between the Michigan ACLU and the Michigan law enforcement. The Michigan ACLU leveled the charge earlier this week that Michigan law enforement was asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars for records related to the possible forensic imaging of mobile devices using the well-known Cellebrite UFED. Michigan law enforcement has responded. In a statement, Michigan State Police said, "The DEDs [Digital Extraction Devices] are not being used to extract citizens' personal information during routine traffic stops." The Michgan State Police also said that there are no claims that law enforcement has broken any laws in the use of these DEDs.
I interviewed ACLU Staff Attorney Mark Fancher for a segment in CyberJungle Radio. Fancher is with the Racial Jucstice Project at the Michigan ACLU.
