美国联邦法官Sara Hill裁定,警方对司机Melissa Kyle的搜查构成违宪的无令状搜查,侵犯了其第四修正案权利1。法官认为这起案件涉及"无差别大规模监视"1,并判定所有从搜查中获得的证据——包括缴获的91磅甲基苯丙胺——都必须作为"毒树之果"予以排除1。
警官Freddie Alaniz仅因看到Kyle的车牌为加州便对其进行了车牌识别系统搜索1。在随后的5天内,Kyle的租赁车被来自11个不同执法机构的摄像头扫描超过50次1。Flock和Motorola系统的搜索记录显示了长达一个月的行动轨迹,包含79次摄像头记录1。法官裁定,"日常美国人在长途旅行中经常遇到的情况"不构成进行大规模数据库搜查的正当理由1。
A U.S. federal judge has determined that police use of an automatic license plate reader system to search driver Melissa Kyle's vehicle violated the Fourth Amendment and constituted an unconstitutional warrantless search 1. Federal Judge Sara Hill ruled that the search was an instance of "indiscriminate mass surveillance," and consequently ordered all evidence obtained from the search—including 91 pounds of methamphetamine discovered in Kyle's rental car—to be excluded as "fruit of the poisonous tree" 1.
Officer Freddie Alaniz initiated the search of the Flock license plate reader system based solely on observing that Kyle's vehicle bore a California license plate 1. Over a five-day period, Kyle's rental car was scanned by cameras operated by 11 different law enforcement agencies more than 50 times 1. Records from both the Flock and Motorola systems documented an entire month of the vehicle's movements, capturing 79 camera recordings 1. Judge Hill determined that "circumstances commonly encountered by everyday Americans during long-distance travel" do not constitute reasonable grounds for conducting a search 1.
