Police can now read the messages on your phone at will A ruling of the California Supreme Court declared that if you are suspected of any wrongdoings, police officers can read the messages on your phone without needing a warrant. It's yet to be seen how this decision, part of the People versus Gregory Diaz case, will be implemented in practice and in the different states. Here's the explanation of this court decision: "The majority opinion, written by Justice Ming Chin, cited precedents from the U.S. Supreme Court, saying the contents of a cell phone are like the contents of clothing or a cigarette pack found on a suspect's person. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that those types of searches do not require a warrant under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, the court said." There is a rather different opinion, though, formulated by Associate Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar: "Never before has it been possible to carry so much personal or business information in one's pocket or purse." We're not particularly sure that we like the fact police officers are now able to access our text messages at will. Not that we have something to hide, but still we don't appreciate it. Your opinion?

WE SO FREEEEEDUMB!!!!
U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
Who cares? Jew courts have about as much authority over the Constitution as Satan has over God. They are treasonous bastards and one day will pay for their crimes.

Let me ask a real dopey question. What messages "on your phone"? Are you talking an answering machine? Voicemail?
Text messages, automatic information recorded by your phone - the iPhone records your GPS location on every call/text.
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha
So if "we the people" suspect that the police are corrupt or the political actors are suspected of "wrongdoing" that by the law of equality, the citizens can read their messages w/o a warrant?
Smart phones are really hand held mobile computers more than they are phones and they can store more text than most people could read in a year.

Got it, Thanks.
Password protection works well... and for the extra wary you can always carry a nicadiom magnet.
14th Amendment?? or 4th Amendment? I wonder if the incorrect citation was in the original decision.
You're welcome. Oh, and NSA can use your phone to spy on you wherever you are at any time - even if the phone is turned off.

You're 100% correct on that. Only ways to have your privacy is to pop out the battery or stick in a drawer under magazines or newspapers.
Or better yet, don't own one. Which is my solution. I don't need one, and do not want to stick a microwave emitter next to my head so I don't have one. Although if Apple ever puts a USB port on the iPad I might consider one of them.

Your opinion?
