The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that under the state’s biometrics law, plaintiffs don’t need to show actual injury in order  to recover damages.

On Jan. 25, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed that a 14-year-old boy’s rights were violated under the Biometric Information Privacy Act when a Gurnee, Illinois, Six Flags collected and stored his fingerprint for repeat-entry access into the park without issuing prior required notice and release.
