Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת סדר הדין הפלילי (מעצר וחיפוש) (שלילת הסכמה כהיתר לחיפוש בחומר מחשב)
TL;DRA proposal to require a judicial warrant for searches of computer material, and the inadmissibility in court of evidence obtained otherwise.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Criminal Procedure Ordinance to prevent searches of computer material (smartphones, mobile phones, computers and the like) even with the consent of the computer's owner, unless there is a judicial warrant. In addition, material obtained in a search not in accordance with these rules will be inadmissible as evidence in court, and the court will not be able to permit its use. The proposal treats searches of digital material as an invasion of privacy equivalent to a search of a person's body, and the goal is to protect the right to privacy and the right to a fair trial in the digital age.
