More good news: SCOTUS rules cell phone searches require a warrant

Post by Pointedstick »

Unanimous decision, too!
Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled that police may not search the cell phones of criminal suspects upon arrest without a warrant -- a sweeping endorsement for privacy rights.

By a 9-0 vote, the justices said smart phones and other electronic devices were not in the same category as wallets, briefcases, and vehicles -- all currently subject to limited initial examination by law enforcement.

Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.
