Ep. 286: Data Collection Goes To White Castle

The already heated debate over biometric data collection saw a jolt last week as the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that privacy claims pile up with each unlawful logging of employee data, potentially putting employers on the hook for astronomical damages. Joining Pro Say this week is Chicago court reporter Celeste Bott to break down the Prairie State’s high court ruling and what it could mean for workplace tracking disputes. Also this week, two plaintiffs’ firms trade blows over a Facebook antitrust case, and the DOJ files charges against an ex-con for his purported impersonation of a private equity GC and BigLaw pro. Finally, the hosts examine the tortured legal connections of this week’s most anticipated movie release, “Cocaine Bear.”
