http://thinkprogress.org/justice/20...tarts-to-bring-privacy-into-the-21st-century/The answer, according to a nearly unanimous opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, is no. “Cell phones,” Roberts explained, “place vast quantities of personal information literally in the hands of individuals. A search of the information on a cell phone bears little resemblance to the type of brief physical search” authorized by previous cases.
As Roberts lays out, few of the traditional justifications for a search incident to arrest authorize a full search of a suspect’s cell phone. The data stored on a phone “cannot itself be used as a weapon to harm an arresting officer or to effectuate the arrestee’s escape.”
Check out the story, it's a great step forward for us as a nation. No more reasons to sign up for burner phones as Mickey Mouse to ensure some jerkoff isn't invading your privacy like a voyeur doucher. Here's to hoping things like this based on morals continue.
