"美國憲法增修條文第四條「明確表明其保護所涵蓋的地方和事物」:人身、住所、文件及財物。因此,美國憲法增修條文第四條未禁止對私人財產的所有調查行動;例如,一名探員﹙受限於Katz v. United States案﹚可在本院稱之為「敞地」之處收集資訊,即使這些「敞地」是屬於私人所有,因為這樣的「敞地」不是美國憲法增修條文第四條條文所列舉保護者。The Fourth Amendment “indicates with some precision the places and things encompassed by its protections”: persons, houses, papers, and effects. The Fourth Amendment does not, therefore, prevent all investigations conducted on private property; for example, an officer may (subject to Katz v. United States) gather information in what we have called “open fields” --even if those fields are privately owned--because such fields are not enumerated in the Amendment's text." |
