If the fourth amendment doesn't apply to your phone, then your phone can be looked at anytime by authorities with no need to cite probable cause, nor a warrant.

If the fourth amendment doesn't apply to your phone, then your phone can be looked at anytime by authorities with no need to cite probable cause, nor a warrant. Or am I missing something?
- magduf 7y agoI don't think digital technology needs to apply here at all. Before there were phones, were authorities able to stop you and look through your personal papers or briefcase or other personal effects you were carrying, without probably cause or a warrant? I don't think. A phone isn't any different, it's just a lot smaller than a briefcase.
- mc32 7y agoGood question. Hopefully someone is familiar with this scenario and could provide opinion on it.
