I have been to a few meetings where personal phones had to be surrendered before entry into the room was allowed. That would be a good time to “gather” the competitors data. Just a little in-house espionage.

Never even thought of that! And what about Mr. Prosecutor working with Mr. Guard at the court house, where a judge bans phones? Easy way to get all the data from the defense attorney's phone...

Maybe... but to be fair that would be a pretty extreme violation of attorne/client privilege, like a Nifong level ethics violation.  Not to say it wouldn't happen ever, but all the prosecutors I've known are habitually averse to ethical violations like that leading me to believe that most in the profession are as well.
