Abdullah the Butcher Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jun/25/supreme-court-bans-warrantless-cell-phone-searches/ The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that police cannot go snooping through peoples cell phones without a warrant, in a unanimous decision that amounts to a major statement in favor of privacy rights I bet police will continue to violate our rights anyways.

Only if you let them. Education is the key in ANY interaction with the police. Know the laws and know your rights. Me? I only roll the window down enough to slide my proof of ins and registration through the window. I hold up my license to display to the officer that I have one. I never roll the window down enough for them to even think about gaining control of anything that is mine, that I don't want them to have. Also; encrypt, encrypt, encrypt! Can't emphasize that enough. Oh, and record every interaction. Link to comment

No, I try to obey the rules of the road. I did get a ticket about 3 months ago though, first one in probably 20 years. That particular ticket was rather expensive, I was shocked at how much one costs today. Link to comment
MidnightRider Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Also; encrypt, encrypt, encrypt! Can't emphasize that enough. What am I encrypting? Your entire phone. I have a few things going on right now but when I get some time I will try to dig up a link (I think the link is on another machine at the house and I don't have access to that right now) that shows you how to do it. Once encrypted and powered down, they're not getting into your phone. I will post that up as soon as I can. Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 One of my professors in college always told us to simply say no when the police asked to search anything Link to comment
carlfense Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 One of my professors in college always told us to simply say no when the police asked to search anything Good advice. Also, you can generally (politely!) decline to answer questions. Link to comment

I don't think this is the link I had on my machine at home but it does a pretty good job of explaining the process for Android. I don't own any Apple devices and am not a mobile guru so I'm unsure as to their process. http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-encrypt-android-device-326700/ Link to comment
NUance Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So, do people have things on their phone or computer that would get them in trouble? What sort of things would these be? Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Different subject but funny ......... my neighbor who is a mature and normal guy was arrested including guns loaded (cops) and one night jail time because he spray painted and smeared on "Serve and Protect" cop car sticker in 7-11 store parking lot. Apparently he was sober at the time according to his wife. I forget misdemeanor or felony charge. My daughter was eyewitness episode. Some Norman cops was a big ego and gestapo level ...... higher than public peons (me) Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Will the cops still need a warrant if they ask the NSA for the information first? Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Welcome to social media like tweeter bird and facebook users. Snooping is completely legal. Just the opposite by snooping cell phones without a warrant. Exactly the same for land line phone tap. Illegal without a warrant (I think !). The key thing, without a warrant ....... in other words, worthless. Now days, warrant is very easy. Link to comment
