The US Supreme Court has sided with the people vs. law enforcement! Now should you get stopped or pulled over, a cop can NOT just ask or grab your phone, they have to have a warrant. They used 2 cases, Riley v. California and U.S. v. Wurie to make there decision, and these are BS cases, gangs and drugs.
These 2 cases had police use info from there phone against them, without a warrant obtained, even though it lead to gang activity and a stash of drugs…and the supreme court feels like that just wasn’t right.
Chief Justice John Roberts:
Modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans “the privacies of life,” Boyd, supra, at 630. The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought. Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple- get a warrant.
Now there are ‘extenuating circumstances’, like if you get into a fatal accident, and it’s your fault, they will comb through your sh*t to see how you f**ked up!!
