最高法院规定,蒙大拿警察在没有逮捕证的情况下合法进入家中,以防止自杀,但援引了紧急例外。 Supreme Court rules Montana police lawfully entered home without warrant to prevent suicide, citing emergency exception.

美国最高法院于2026年1月14日一致裁定蒙大拿警方于2021年在没有逮捕证的情况下合法进入一名男子的住所, The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled on January 14, 2026, that Montana police lawfully entered a man’s home without a warrant in 2021 after his ex-girlfriend reported he threatened suicide. 警员们在观察一个空枪套和从窗户走出去的便条时,通过门锁门进入,担心有即将到来的伤害,包括警察可能自杀。 Officers, observing an empty gun holster and a note through the window, entered through an unlocked door fearing imminent harm, including possible suicide by cop. 当这名男子带着一个黑色物体从窗帘后面走出来时,一名军官开枪打伤他;后来在附近发现了一把手枪。 When the man emerged from behind a curtain with a black object, one officer fired, wounding him; a handgun was later found nearby. 法院维持了“社区看守”例外下的入境规定,指出如果警官有客观上合理的根据认为里面有人受到严重伤害或即将受到威胁,他们可以在没有逮捕证的情况下行动。 The Court upheld the entry under the "community caretaker" exception, stating officers may act without a warrant if they have an objectively reasonable basis to believe someone inside is seriously injured or imminently threatened. 该决定重申《第四修正案》的紧急例外,强调这种行动必须以直接危险而不是调查作为理由。 The decision reaffirms the emergency exception to the Fourth Amendment, emphasizing that such actions must be justified by immediate danger, not investigation. 该裁定不适用于非紧急情况。 The ruling does not apply to non-emergency situations.
