4th Amendment Current Event

This article is about how police officers must get a warrant in order to search the cell phone of a suspect. The law was passed because cell phones may contain a ton of personal data, which police officers don't have the right to access. As Chief Justice John Roberts says, "With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans the privacies of life." The message that Roberts was sending was quite clear: "Get a warrant." This article relates to the Fourth Amendment because the it protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure of personal effects, such as cell phones.
