US Supreme Court: Cops need a warrant to search mobes

In a landmark decision, the US Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that police need a warrant if they want to search the mobile phones of the folks they arrest.

Chief Justice John Roberts, who penned the ruling, said the huge amount of data stored on phones means police cannot routinely inspect mobes as they would the contents of arrested people’s pockets and wallets.


“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',” he said.

The Supreme Court ruling comes after two defendants in two different cases argued that their convictions should be overturned because the evidence used to find them guilty was taken from mobiles they had on them.

This may include Laptops, Tablets & other mobile portable electronics data-storing devices, I guess.

Lawmakers, Judges ans US Citizens are really interested in protecting Layman's Privacy.
