- Blackberry password wipe.
Ruling lets California police search your phone without a warrant - CNN.com
I'll set my phone to wipe after three attempts if I travel to California. (Hopefully I won't.)
If confronted with a demand to unlock my phone (even by a judge), I would also raise other constitutional issues [like the right to be free from involuntary servitude (i.e. slavery)] in addition to the usual Fourth amendment search and seizure issues. No citizen can be compelled to enter keystrokes for the police! I don't work for them, therefore I won't enter keystrokes!Last edited by T�nis; 01-06-11 at 05:24 PM.

Did you read the article that you posted or just the headline?FigureThisOut likes this.01-06-11 05:50 PMLike 1
- There's nothing in my phone that I would be afraid to let an officer/judge see.
What scares me are the paranoid conspiracy theorists who think cops are corrupt and out to get them.
Up here in Canada, the police are your friends.01-06-11 05:53 PMLike 0 - Yea, I know ... "If you've done nothing wrong, you shouldn't have anything to hide." Well, to that I say, "If the friendly police officer has nothing to hide, s/he won't mind my looking through her smart phone's contents either." Are you one of the sheeple who thinks that only incriminating information is private?01-06-11 05:55 PMLike 0
- This would likely be only done in the event of an accident to determine if you were using your device whilst driving.
Easy sollution, don't text while driving. I'm a truck driver... 2750.00 fine if I'm caught.

IMO, it really says something about one's mindset when they see "the cops" as bad...NobleSix likes this.01-06-11 06:06 PMLike 1 - If Brett Favre ever visits California and gets into some trouble, that poor cop looking through his phone....01-06-11 06:12 PMLike 0
- Well, you unlock over your smart phone for the police if asked. ****, let them strip search you and even invite them over to go through your pantie drawer if it make you "feel safe." But I'll wipe my phone before I unlock it for thugs with badges who are only hassling me because I "deserve it."01-06-11 06:26 PMLike 0
- Undoubtedly, this movement is directed at auto accidents and the attention payed to people driving while playing with their phones. It's not rocket science. You should see the things (accidents that occurred in the lane just outside of my drivers window while I was stopped at red lights on three different occasions) that I've seen from my car. I don't pity the drivers but DO feel sorry for the victims.
The headline doesn't give all of the facts...01-06-11 07:06 PMLike 0 - If you lived in baltimore city or county you would understand police harassment.. Would I rather there be no police, **** no especially not around here, but cops do make there own decisions and for every one that's illegally searching you there's another saving a life. So if you run into a cop that wants your cell phone and you have something to hide, I'd say start your video camera lock it and say no, you might have the next youtube hit like the skater at the harbor haha or a broken phone depends on the cop.

You might not deserve it, but with an attitude like that you may be asking for it.
Drop the confrontational attitude and you might have a better interaction next time you meet a police officer.NobleSix likes this.01-06-11 09:03 PMLike 1
