The 4th Amendendment protects against UNREASONABLE search. If probable cause exists, through the checks and balances of government, how can you say the government should not be able to search the phone?

The Constitution allows for something called a 'warrant'. The cops can go to a judge and show they have probable cause for the search and the judge will sign off on it. Really cool process that allows the police to search when necessary while guaranteeing that there are checks and balances to hold them accountable.
