If you are going to get arrested, smash your phone on the ground...

The Supreme Court is going to review a couple of cases where the police searched the phone of some one they were arresting and found evidence:

But I doubt very much that they will completely eliminate the ability of cops to look at what is on your phone. In fact, they might not change the law at all.

-------------------------------
"Under court precedent, police are permitted to search at the time of an arrest without a warrant, primarily to ensure the defendant is not armed and to secure evidence that could otherwise be destroyed. In the past, it has applied to such items as wallets, calendars, address books and diaries."
-------------------------------

The problem is that people simply store too much stuff - especially text, e-mails and pictures - on their phones.

How many guys on this board have a bunch of texts from providers scheduling appointments, giving directions, etc. Not to mention pictures of BCD activities. Can you imagine IBH's embarrassment when the police find all those pictures of him blowing trannies?

So, if you have bad shit on your phone, delete it as soon as you see the flashing red lights. But, if you are pretty certain you are going to get arrested, it might be wisest to get out of the car and smash the phone on the ground BEFORE they put the cuffs on you.

If the cop asks why you did that, say "My asshole boss keeps calling me at all hours of the day. I lost my temper."
Your President, that you voted for... would be the one embarrassed... Reggie Love said on Face Book he wants your phone number.

This isn't the NSA.

This is just regular cops - state, not federal, cops - conducting a routine search of an arrested person.

Used a HD camera to video your mother and your sister doing the nasty, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass, and evidently your dumb-fuck ass doesn't know about "hobby phones" or how to use one, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass. BTW, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass, you really shouldn't call your cheap, double-bagger, whoring-sister a "tranny".
Yea, well... you just ain't never going to get it are you .... ?

It is lucky for you their pictures expired or everyone on this board would know exactly what I am talking about.

How do you know he does and that she's a tranny? You ARE a tranny expert aren't you, Massa Overseer?

Couldn't one just reset the system and still have a phone?

Or pick a fight with a tranny and delete incriminating evidence during the mayhem?

Only if the tranny is in NOLA and willing to wear an Aunt Jemima costume for Massa Overseer!

Edit: Smashing a phone is likely a "red flag" to an officer. You would have to damage the phone severely in make it unsalvageable. Most people would just break the screen and not damage the internals.

Ok, that was my question on this. The link to the two cases didn't mention if the phones in question had a screen lock in place or not. If I refuse to give the code and the police "hack" through it to gain access to my records, that seems to clearly violate the 4th, but again, until we hear it from the SCOTUS, we can't be sure.

smashing a phone won't work ... watch NCIS, Abby can trace your calls even when the phone has been burned to a crisp !!
