Cell Phone Law

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court in a unanimous decision decided that police cannot search someone’s cell phone without a search warrant, even if the person is under arrest for some crime.  The Supreme Court found that we have privacy interests in our cell phones. Searching a cell phone is highly intrusive, particularly because of the large amount of data that can be stored on a cell phone.  The Court also noted the particular danger because the cell phone can be linked to computers and other sources containing a huge amount of private information.

This is a great holding by the Supreme Court.  Now police will not be able to delve into people’s private lives without clearance by the Court through a search warrant.  Should you be the victim of any illegal police activity contact Sacramento search and seizure attorney David Foos to defend your rights.  Don’t be violated of your cell phone rights.
