SCOTUS Rules on Warrantless Cell Phone Searches :: 06/26/2014

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Wednesday police may not generally search the cell phones of people they arrest without first getting search warrants.
  The justices said cell phones are powerful devices unlike anything else police may find on someone they arrest.
