    Could Contact Tracing Technology Violate the Fourth Amendment?

    Patrick McKnight

    Contact tracing has been used by health officials to understand and combat the spread of contagious diseases for over 100 years. For most of this time period contact tracing involved low-tech, on the ground interviews and investigations. Contact tracing has been used to combat the spread of diseases ranging from typhoid in the early 20th century to AIDS in the 1980’s and Ebola in the 2010’s.
