There is such an obligation. In fact, just yesterday, a judge dismissed a case in the middle of a trial to punish a prosecutor for not disclosing information to the defense -- and the information had only a tenuous relevance to the case: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/12/a-bo...
Huh, good to know! Thanks.

“Expectation of privacy” isn’t in the constitution. The 4th amendment says: “ The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…” Other people’s records concerning you plainly aren’t “[your] … papers.”
I guess FOIA doesn’t emanate from the Constitution either?
No, of course not. It's a law passed by Congress. Not all rights emanate from the Constitution. Often they are derived from English common law, or else from laws passed by Congress or the states. Unlike Constitutional rights, rights from these latter two sources can be overridden by other laws (or indeed the Constitution, as interpreted by judges).
