Not only that but you are legally permitted to withdraw your consent to search at any time. Just merely handing your phone to an officer unlocked does not permit a limitless search and seizure.
However if during that time the officer sees material that constitutes probable cause for a search, they can seize the phone without your ability to withdraw consent.
IANAL
- dotBen 5y agoAs mentioned in my previous comment, a lawyer told me you can't arbitrarily withdraw your consent in that way you are describing. The police officer may also have taken your phone back to their car to use the ID details to write up the ticket so you can't easily ask form the phone back at that point.
