"Public defenders are often the most overworked and underpaid lawyers in the criminal justice system, with little time and few resources to research the new technology now being used against their clients. This, in turn, creates an uneven playing field that disadvantages the most vulnerable people: those who can’t afford private attorneys. That’s where organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), a non-profit criminal legal advocacy group that Kenyon was a member of, come in. With an army of on-call experts, resources kits and trainings, the NACDL helps attorneys navigate the increasingly complex and novel ways their clients’ privacy can be violated in the digital age – including geofence and keyword search warrants, digital device searches and facial recognition."
