Barry Friedman serves as the Faculty Director of the Policing Project at New York
University School of Law, where he is the Jacob D. Fuchsberg Professor of Law and
Affiliated Professor of Politics. The Policing Project is dedicated to strengthening
policing through ordinary democratic processes; it drafts best practices and policies for
policing agencies, including on issues of technology and surveillance, assists with
transparency, conducts cost-benefit analysis of policing practices, and leads
engagement efforts between policing agencies and communities. Friedman has taught,
litigated, and written about constitutional law, the federal courts, policing, and criminal
procedure for over thirty years. Friedman is the author of Unwarranted: Policing Without
Permission (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, February 2017), and has written numerous articles
in scholarly journals, including on democratic policing, alternatives to police responses
to 911 calls, and the Fourth Amendment.

As part of the Tech Policy Lab’s ongoing Tech Talk series, Professor Friedman will visit
the University of Washington School of Law to discuss the growing network of police
surveillance and the confrontation between constitutional rights and mass government surveillance.
