"這兩個案件提出一個共同的問題:是否警方可在沒有搜索令的情況下,搜索警方從被逮捕者扣押之手機上的數位資訊。在第一個案件,上訴人大衛‧萊利駕駛車牌過期的車被警察攔下。在攔下的過程中,警察知悉萊利的駕照被吊銷。該名警察依據警察部門的政策扣押萊利的車,另一名警察對萊利的車進行清查搜索。警察在萊利的車引擎蓋下搜出兩把手槍,萊利因涉嫌藏匿上膛武器被逮捕。These two cases raise a common question: whether the police may, without a warrant, search digital information on a cell phone seized from an individual who has been arrested.In the first case, petitioner David Riley was stopped by a police officer for driving with expired registration tags. In the course of the stop, the officer also learned that Riley’s license had been suspended. The officer impounded Riley’s car, pursuant to department policy, and another officer conducted an inventory search of the car. Riley was arrested for possession of concealed and loaded firearms when that search turned up two handguns under the car’s hood." |
