• On the post: Another Court Says It's Okay For Police To Search Your Mobile Phone Without A Warrant

  In most states, warrantless searches are permitted to incidental to arrest (as noted before: the cigarette pack). This can be done to obtain evidence of a crime and/or to inventory all the property on a suspect. Depending on the crime, it is very possible for a phone to contain evidence of a crime on it. Think about this: wallets and handbags (on the person of someone arrested) have been routinely searched for many years and they also may contain very private stuff. You have no expectation of privacy when you're being booked, whatever you have on you is fair game.
