The situation has always been the same. What is reasonable?
Quote:
A U.S. federal appeals court ruled today that police officers can search a cell phone without a warrant.
The searches are to be limited to the device?s number; having the number enables officers of the law to request other, more specific information from carriers, such as call histories.
The case involved a drug bust in Indiana, where police used the numbers of cell phones found on the scene of a drug bust to track down and link together key players in a drug ring.

Is it
reasonable to search phones found
on the scene of a drug bust?
If a child is suspected by neighbors of being abused, is it reasonable for the police to intervene. Or best to wait until it might be too late?
Like all laws, the problem is in the application of them. Doesn't mean do away with laws.
