Law enforcement has experienced difficulties retrieving information stored on the mobile devices of suspects. Over the last years, a number of Australian jurisdictions enacted legislation that allows police officers to compel an individual to unlock their device (such as providing a PIN or fingerprint to unlock the device). Non-compliance with these legislative provisions is punishable by imprisonment. The refusal by suspects to comply with an order to unlock their devices has been addressed in a number of Australian courts. In this article, the authors will discuss this legislative activity and the courts’ responses in light of the privilege against self-incrimination.

澳大利亚的数字脱衣搜查：对自证其罪特权的威胁

执法部门在检索存储在嫌疑人移动设备上的信息时遇到了困难。在过去几年中，许多澳大利亚司法管辖区颁布了立法，允许警察强迫个人解锁其设备（例如提供 PIN 或指纹以解锁设备）。不遵守这些立法规定可处以监禁。澳大利亚的一些法院已经解决了嫌疑人拒绝遵守解锁他们设备的命令的问题。在本文中，作者将根据反对自证其罪的特权讨论这一立法活动和法院的回应。
