In Riley v. California, the Supreme Court decided unanimously to limit the ability of law enforcement to search cell phones while making arrests, requiring police to obtain a search warrant before examining the data contained in an arrestee’s device. IANAL, but I presume this sidesteps that by: 1. Pinky-swearing that they won't look at the individual's other data. 2. Coercing consent to a search by threatening to take away their license. 3. Performing the search before arresting so as not to get into "search incident to arrest" (SITA) territory. Seems dubious at best.
