> This is a case that arises at the intersection of the Fourth Amendment [unreasonable search and seizure] and the technological capabilities of an Apple iPhone. The defendant Christopher Poller allegedly stashed two guns and illegal drugs on the front seat of his car. He parked the car on a road in front of his apartment and then went inside. Because the windows of the car were heavily tinted, he probably thought no one could see inside. But he was mistaken. The police came along and — by holding up an iPhone to the window of the car and activating the iPhone’s camera viewfinder function — they could clearly see the guns and drugs inside the car. The police officers just used iPhone's camera capability to look through the tinted window and see the firearms and drugs in the car.
