Outrageous......and UNconstitutional............
I wonder what kind of virus protection it has.....
Their knickers are in a twist over the iPhone apps that identify locations of DUI checkpoints.
If your cell phone is under the seat, how do they get it?
“... to encourage citizens to cooperate if they have nothing to hide”.
Don’t know about anyone else but that phrase scares the dickens out of me.
So they are raping our cell phones...
Worked every time.
I suspect this is totally unconstitutional. I’ll bet they are getting voluntary compliance from the ignorant public. All you have to do is REFUSE. Why should you have to LIE?
1. Refuse to answer as to whether or not you even have such a device.
2. If you have already said, yes, then refuse to allow the LEO to look at or examine your communications device. They have no right to do so.
REFUSE TO BE INTIMIDATED.
What’s the ACLU doing about TSA?
So, now the first thing you do when you see red/blue flashing lights in your mirror and hear a siren, is turn off your cell phone. Wouldn’t they need a warrant to make you turn it back on?
And yes, I have nothing to hide, but get the warrant anyway, officer.
More than Michigan. However, probably not used as often, or for the reasons that many here suspect. I do know that Ft. Worth police used some sort of technology to ascertain that a teenage girl was indeed texting when she caused a near fatal accident.
I have a phone that is a phone only. No bells or whistles. It would probably piss them off IF I allowed them to use their device on it. I wondering, though, when did police go from being peace officers to becoming
law enforcement officers?
This is typical donut muncher c@#p.
Just say loudly so your phone recorder can hear what you say. .
Here’s my name,drivers license and registration.
I do not consent for you to search.
Am I free to go or are you holding me?
Don’t get mad, or scream or get in his grill. Or spout off about your rights.
If you are holding me I want to speak to my attorney, then just shut up.

Think about what the NSA can do with a smart phone. They can locate you and use the device as a microphone to listen to you, even when it is not in use. Same with OnStar, you could be in your car having a conversation with someone in the passenger seat and big brother could be listening without your knowledge.
They can take their new gizmo and shove it right up their fat wazoo. F*** the police.
