STARSET_MirrorGoogle is giving data to police based on search keywords, court docs show
很少有什么事情能像一个人的搜索记录那样展示一个人的全貌，而警方通常需要一张对已知嫌疑人的搜查令，才能要求提供这些敏感信息。但最近一份未密封的法庭文件发现，调查人员可以要求谷歌披露搜索关键字的所有人，而不是已知嫌疑人的信息，从而以相反的顺序要求这些数据。
There are few things as revealing as a person’s search history, and police typically need a warrant on a known suspect to demand that sensitive information. But a recently unsealed court document found that investigators can request such data in reverse order by asking Google to disclose everyone who searched a keyword rather than for information on a known suspect.
今年8月，警方逮捕了迈克尔·威廉姆斯（Michael Williams），他是歌手兼性犯罪被告凯利（R.Kelly）的同伙，罪名是涉嫌在佛罗里达州纵火焚烧一名证人的汽车。调查人员将威廉姆斯与纵火案以及证人篡改案联系起来，此前他们向谷歌发送了一份搜查令，要求提供“在纵火案发生前搜索过住所地址的用户”的信息
In August, police arrested Michael Williams, an associate of singer and accused sex offender R. Kelly, for allegedly setting fire to a witness’ car in Florida. Investigators linked Williams to the arson, as well as witness tampering, after sending a search warrant to Google that requested information on “users who had searched the address of the residence close in time to the arson.”
