Court Says Police Need Permission to See Phone Location
法院裁定警方需獲許可方可查看手機定位
Introduction
The US Supreme Court made a new rule. Police must have a legal paper called a warrant to see where a person was with their phone.
美國最高法院制定了一項新規則。警方必須持有稱為「搜查令」的法律文件，才能查看個人的手機位置。
Main Body
Police used a special tool to find Okello Chatrie. This tool shows all phones in one area. Police found Mr. Chatrie and put him in prison for twelve years.
警方使用了一項特殊工具來尋找 Okello Chatrie。該工具能顯示特定區域內的所有手機。警方隨後找到了 Chatrie 先生，並將其判處十二年監禁。
Six judges said this is wrong. They said phone location is like a private diary. People want their movements to be secret. Police cannot just take this information.
六位法官表示這樣做是錯誤的。他們認為手機定位就像私人日記一樣，人們希望自己的行蹤能保密。警方不能直接獲取這些資訊。
Three judges disagreed. They said people are in public places. They think the new rule is a mistake. Now, a lower court will look at Mr. Chatrie's case again.
三位法官則持有不同意見。他們認為人們處於公共場所，因此認為新規則是一個錯誤。現在，下級法院將重新審理 Chatrie 先生的案件。
Conclusion
Police now need a warrant to see phone location history. The court will decide if the police followed the rules in the Chatrie case.
警方現在需要搜查令才能查看手機定位紀錄。法院將決定警方在 Chatrie 案中是否遵守了規則。
