That’s what the locking function is for. Make them get a court order and then defy it.

And if the phone is encrypted?

[Theoria]

Down 3 a given.

Breyer, Thomas, Alito almost always side with .gov searches.

[Pecos]

If the police believe that there is evidence on my phone, they should arrest me, hold my phone, and then get a search warrant to search it, just like they (theoretically) need to search my home. No, I will not provide the pass code. The fact that they cannot get into my phone is not my problem.

It sounds like someone could make a killing developing a “one button wipe” app that performs a DOD grade wipe of the contents of the phone when a code is inputed.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Kagan actually has a good point.

I would not expect the geriatric Justices to understand that people today use their cell phone for exactly the same purpose they used desktop computers for twenty years ago.

[CodeToad]

Who needs a warrant anymore? Just search anything and everything and everyone at any time...starting with these black rob creeps.

[Minutemen]

“People carry their entire lives on their cellphone”

Therin lies your problem.

[veracious]

The fact that it is even possible for USG to doubt that We the People are free from unwarranted search & seizure because is electronic, is clear indication of the Insanity of our Era, e.g., the collapse of USA law.

Just Damn!!! Kagan making more Constitutional sense than Alito???
