Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled that police may not search the cell phones of criminal suspects upon arrest without a warrant -- a sweeping endorsement for privacy rights.
By a 9-0 vote, the justices said smart phones and other electronic devices were not in the same category as wallets, briefcases, and vehicles -- all currently subject to limited initial examination by law enforcement.
I wasn't worried, since I have a dumb phone and the decision only addresses stored data. Of course all information stored in a phone is in the form of data isn't it? How many of you own a smart phone?
Not to worry. Except for Lois Lerners emails everything else is safely stored at the NSA.
