1. This case raises important questions relating to the necessary balance between (a) protecting the basic rights of the individual and (b) the needs of law enforcement authorities to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute crime. It arises in the context of judicially issued search warrants permitting search and seizure of information and data stored in mobile digital devices, such as mobile phones, of the sort which are now carried and used by almost every person in Hong Kong.
