丹佛：科罗拉多联邦法院拟推手机密封袋试点，向公众征求意见
位于科罗拉多州丹佛的美国科罗拉多联邦地区法院10月20日宣布，正就一项为期18个月的试点计划征求公众意见：要求进入丹佛、Colorado Springs、Grand Junction 和 Durango 四处联邦法院的多数访客，将手机装入可上锁的布质密封袋随身保管，全程不得取出使用，离院后方可解锁，法官特许、律师、记者、陪审员等类别除外。公众可于11月16日下午5时前提交意见。
据 Denver Focal 报道，该提议由美国法警局提出。法院书记官 Jeffrey P. Colwell 表示，法院不断收到公众在法庭旁听席、走廊乃至书记官柜台使用手机的报告，认为有必要采取审慎措施；未经授权的拍摄可能使证人、陪审员、执法人员和法院工作人员面临恐吓威胁或网络人肉风险，拍摄安保摄像头位置、警员岗位等画面也会带来安全隐患。法院表示，试点旨在落实法院内长期禁止录音、拍照和录像的规定。批评者则担忧紧急情况下无法使用手机，以及密封袋磁吸封口对医疗设备使用者的影响；法院称医疗例外将逐案考虑。（GSM 据 Denver Focal 报道）
Denver: Colorado Federal Court Seeks Public Comment on Phone-Sealing Pouch Pilot at Four Courthouses
The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, based in Denver, announced on October 20 that it is seeking public comment on a proposed 18-month pilot under which most visitors to the federal courthouses in Denver, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Durango would keep their cellphones in lockable fabric pouches during their visit, unable to open them until leaving, unless a judge permits access. Lawyers, journalists, jurors and several other categories would be exempt. Comments are due by 5 p.m. on November 16.
According to Denver Focal, the proposal was put forward by the U.S. Marshals Service. Court Clerk Jeffrey P. Colwell said the court has received repeated reports of members of the public using phones in courtroom galleries, hallways and at the clerk's counter, and considers the measure prudent. The court says unauthorized filming could expose witnesses, jurors, law enforcement officers and court staff to intimidation or online doxxing, and that recording security features such as camera locations and officers' posts creates safety risks. The pilot is intended to enforce longstanding bans on recording, photography and video inside courthouses. Critics have raised concerns about emergency phone access and about the pouches' magnetic closures interfering with medical devices; the court said medical exceptions would be considered individually.
