Child Protection: New Data Access Rules and Judicial Review.
This act aims to improve the fight against child-related crimes by introducing new rules for accessing information and data. Changes include the ability to impose non-disclosure requirements on ongoing investigations, while also granting citizens the right to judicial review of such requirements. This is intended to enhance the effectiveness of prosecuting criminals while protecting the rights of individuals whose data is obtained.
Key points
Federal officials can now impose temporary non-disclosure requirements on data requests if there's a risk of endangering lives, flight from prosecution, evidence destruction, or jeopardizing an investigation.
Individuals subject to data requests have the right to judicial review of these non-disclosure requirements, providing a safeguard against potential misuse.
Non-disclosure requirements can be extended by a court if justified reasons persist, always with the possibility of judicial oversight.
