LINK

Pretty big news, I know many people were concerned over the outcome of this. Unanimous ruling too.

Also to clarify this is without a warrant.

I was actually pretty worried that they were going to mess this one up somehow. The list of the exceptions to the general 4th amendment rule is getting quite long.

Obama on the short end of a unanimous Supreme Court Decision. LOL

That dude is MORE anti-freedom that either side of the Supreme Court!!

Not bashing you specifically.... But people really need to start searching before posting. We've had multiple stories posted multiple times today

No biggie, just feels like we keep rehashing the same threads over and over again. We've had multiple of

GDP
Cellphone Searches
EPA emails

and of course, not to mention the gay marriage threads that just rehash the same shite over and over and over again

No. It can be held for at least as long as you are in custody. If it is deemed evidentiary, it can be held during the warrant application process. That process shouldn't take long though. The exigent circumstances exception still applies also.

I agree. Don't leave out the abortion threads. Like any options have changed since the thread 1 week before.

If they can hold the phone for as long as one is in custody while applying for a warrant, in what cases does the exigent circumstances exception apply?

Kidnapping case for example. Life or death situations.

I can see something like that.

I'm recalling old case law where exigent circumstances was applied to cases where the data could be easily destroyed.

Correct. If they are in custody (search incident to arrest) the phone is in their property. No risk for destruction unless it can be remotely wiped. Then again, that doesn't completely stop recovery either.
