Here is the legal question at the heart of the event, which was argued before the Oregon Supreme Court next week. We all know that the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects everyone, the quest for "reasonable" and seizures. In the 18 th century, however, in many cases have focused on defining what is and is not reasonable.
As summarized Wikipedia, the police can not search ", the area under the immediate control of suspicion", as attorney James Bronson, James Nix is more colorful, is a "major rule." If you can get the police can find it. California, called a key exception to the exception. The big change of the exception was in 1969 against caseChimel whether a suspect was arrested at his home, police n 'could not search his home. Under the English common law, which was considered reasonable for the police in the search for you while in custody. He became known as the search incident "the detention of exception" and U.S. law was about 100 years.
Since then, there have been a number of exceptions to the exceptions to the exceptions that the courts attempt to address the definition of "reasonable." The courts have said that certain types of objects can find near you – bags, backpacks, magazines, etc. – but others could not be, like, for example, a log.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the searches violate the Fourth Amendment, even though three dissenting justices said the search was similar to the categories of mobile search. Nationally, both in Ohio and California Supreme Courts have taken on the issue of mobile search without a warrant. (I do the obvious fact that cell phones can be the judges are a bit like an address book, but mine is not). California, meanwhile, said the phone was "immediately associated" with the defendant and therefore available.
If the search warrant of the cell is cleared each time someone is arrested with her phone – almost always – the government will be able to comb through all that you are able to access through the phone and using the best tools that can provide mobile forensics.
