首席法官约翰•罗伯茨(John Roberts)表示,智能手机的“巨大存储量”令其有别于嫌犯携带的其他任何物品。
“Modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans ‘the privacies of life’,” he wrote. “The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought.”
他写道:“当代手机并不仅仅是又一种技术上的便利工具。以所存储和可能泄露的内容而言,对许多美国人来说,它们就是‘生活隐私’的载体。如今,科技的发展令个人可以将这类信息带在手中,但这并不代表这些信息的保护价值有任何减少——这种保护正是我们的建国者曾为之奋斗过的。”
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy rights campaign group, described the ruling as “groundbreaking”. Hanni Fakhoury, staff attorney, said: “This should have implications for other forms of government electronic searches and surveillance, tightening the rules for police behaviour and preserving our privacy rights in our increasingly digital world.”
该案源于两起警方搜查电话的事件。在“赖利诉加利福尼亚州案”(Riley v California)中,警方在一个智能手机上发现了能够证明嫌疑人有罪的照片及其他信息,这些内容能将嫌疑人与一起枪击案联系起来,州法院表示这么做是合法的。然而波士顿发生的另一个案件却得出了相反的结论,在该案中嫌疑人普通功能电话(不是智能电话)上的一个通话记录被用来推断他的居住地。该案中的这一证据被联邦上诉法庭排除。
