SCOTUS unanimous - cell phone searches require warrant
Story
``The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought," the ruling said. "Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple — get a warrant."

Damn straight. Police are always looking to overstep their bounds, it's nice to see them get punted back so thoroughly.
