Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.
California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.
The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California’s advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.
They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone—a vast storehouse of digital information—is similar to, say, going through a suspect’ s purse. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’ s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee’ s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of "cloud computing", meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.
Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.
As so often is the case, stating that principle doesn’t ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be overly burdensome for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while waiting for a warrant. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more freedom.
But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.
The Supreme court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to
选项
A、search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrant.
B、check suspects’ phone contents without being authorized.
C、prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.
D、prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词the Supreme Court和whether定位到第一段。由该段第二句The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phonewithout a warrant…可知B项“在没有授权的情况下检查嫌疑犯的手机内容”是该句的同义转换,故选B项。A项“在没有搜查令的情况下搜查嫌疑人的手机”不够准确,原文是search thecontents of a mobile phone.重点在于手机中的内容。C项“阻止嫌疑人删除手机内容”和D项“禁止嫌疑人使用手机”均属于过度推断。
