Speechless
Well, my phone is password protected. That doesn’t guarantee anything, but still...
I’m also wondering if they are allowed to access password protected info (that would be anything on my phone) without a search warrant.
—similar to say a cardboard box open on the passenger seat—
What about a closed cardboard box? Again, making reference to a password protected phone.
Sir, would you please enter your un-lock code?
Sorry officer, I can't remember the code.
This so violates the Fourth Amendment, it’s not even funny.
What is the law in this regard if I have an old-fashioned DayPlanner notebook? Can the cops open and flip thru that? Seems to me the phone would be the same.
pot dispenseries everywhere, but they can search your phone.
Did you know at certain gay festivals in SanFran men are OPENLY fellating each other in public —also pee’ing on one another— WITH THE COPS LOOKING ON...?
And they do not get arrested or even cited....!
But: the cops can search your phone —for no reason.
AND: In SanFran there was a triple murder by an illegal alien MS-13 guy whom SF could not deport cuz it’s a SANCTUARY CITY...!
WOW!
Sir, I pulled you over because your taillight is out [SMASH].
Now hand over your phone.
More: in SF if an illegal alien is pulled over & found to have no driver’s license he gets SPECIAL TREATMENT: he’s automatically entitled to a call to a family member or friend, and that person has 45 minutes to drive to the scene and DRIVE THE CAR AWAY.
You? You don’t get that:
Your car is towed, and in SanFran the minimum charge is over $500. If you car stays overnight that’s $60 per night.
Illegals need not pay any of this.
My iPhone will delete its contents if I enter the wrong code 10 times.
I know why they want this; it’s not just fishing for pervvy photos of u with your girl —it’s also cuz they want to make sure that b4 approaching the car you didn’t call a buddy and let him listen to (and later attest to) what the cop audibly said to you DURING THE STOP.
They’d check the exact time and duration of the last telephone call made, and this way they’d know how much to deny.
With Tyrone or Ahmed they might have legitimate reasons, but even for regular folks whom they beat up or asked for dates they’d want to make sure whassup, yup.
after it was turned on, displayed a photograph of a mask-wearing man holding two AR-15 rifles akimbo.
Notice how they pick a thoroughly disgusting individual for this president setting case.
I got an answer for this, well kinda.
Carry TWO phones, one a junk (maybe even inoperable) unit, leave it on your passenger car seat while you’re headed down the highway.
You see the flashing blue lights of Officer Not-So-Friendly?
Slip your working phone into password protect mode, slide it into your pocket, if questioned about it say “that’s my girlfriend’s phone, can you get into it? I think she’s been cattin’ around on me, I’ve already tried to get into it, but she’s got it password protected”.
Oh, that phone on the passenger seat? That’s mine, you wanna look at it?
FUOTSF!!
The gestopo will be mighty bored with the contents of my cell phone.
Americans are going to learn, sooner or later, that techonology is not without brainless consequence. It would be better for the public to learn that the internet, twitter and facebook is not their best friend and first love in life. It is a tool; not a lover.
