I agree this is a conversation that should be had. Yet I vehemently disagree with your comparison of a cell phone to a wallet. The amount of information carried on a phone dwarfs the information carried in your wallet. The information in your wallet can't give a detail view of where you go, what you say, to whom, and when. I believe warrants should be very fine grained and not used a troweler net to be cast about hoping to catch someone for any "minor" infraction they can find. The preponderance of regulations, rules, and laws means everyone one in this country is a criminal several times a day and is simply waiting to be caught.

So, not sure what you are disagreeing with. Seriously, either you didn't read the rest of my comment, or you chose to ignore it. > The amount of information carried on a phone dwarfs the information carried in your wallet. The information in your wallet can't give a detail view of where you go, what you say, to whom, and when Yes, hence my reason for suggesting that they clearly aren't the same thing. That being said, this case is also not about a smart phone. > I believe warrants should be very fine grained They generally are. They are usually very specific about what they are looking for.
