[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1591059, member: 131855"] We're you a lawyer in a previous life Harry? That's exactly the kind of distinction that will likely be made. If someone is suspected of a crime and is being arrested/has been arrested it seems the phone can be confiscated but not searched. The search could be conducted only if there is sufficient probable cause to believe one has committed a crime. Although the standard for that seems remarkably inconsistent here in the USA. At least to a casual observer anyway. [/QUOTE]
