Well, not really. Lots of people get detained. I have to admit I was pretty drunk once and woke up in a police cell. Would that count? Many people are genuine

Many people are genuinely detained but later found not to have been involved.
What if you were arrested for killing someone whilst drunk driving, is your phone of relevance?
At the moment "everytime someone is in a station" doesn't mean your phone is of interest. I hope that won't change in the future, but there is no clarification of this in the article.

- ErrantX 14y agoI'm not entirely sure what exactly you are trying to say; are you saying that now they have this easy method of extracting phone data they will push for the requirements for extracting that data to be lowered (ala DNA)?
- biafra 14y agoNo. I think what he is saying is that they will extract the data anyway. Whether they are allowed to or not. If it's that simple they will do it. Better be safe than sorry.
