Submission + - Federal Appeals Court Says Police Can't Search Cell Phone Without Warrant (uscourts.gov)
An anonymous reader writes: In a decision that's almost certainly going to result in this issue heading up to the Supreme Court, the Federal 1st Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled that police can't search your phone when they arrest you without a warrant. That's contrary to most courts' previous findings in these kinds of cases where judges have allowed warantless searches through cell phones.
