(You can read the decision here; it&#8217;s also posted below.) In a sweeping win for digital privacy rights, the justices recognized that cellphones contain &#8220;vast quantities of personal information&#8221; and are fundamentally different than other items that a person might have on his or her body when arrested.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before cellphones, a search of a person was limited by physical realities and generally constituted only a narrow intrusion on privacy. But cellphones can store millions of pages of text, thousands of pictures or hundreds of videos. This has several interrelated privacy consequences,&#8221; reads the opinion, which reverses the decision of the California appellate court in Riley v. California.<\/p>\n<p>The justices concluded that officers may examine the phone&#8217;s physical aspects to ensure that it will not be used as a weapon, but may not comb through the data without a warrant. &#8220;It is true that this decision will have some impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime. But the Court&#8217;s holding is not that the information on a cellphone is immune from search; it is that a warrant is generally required before a search.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/politics\/2013\/09\/police-cell-phone-search-warrant-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\">For detail please visit here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/supreme-court-to-cops-who-want-to-search-your-cellphone-get-a-warrant\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,110],"tags":[501,500,502],"views":1101,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1872,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions\/1872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinesepen.org\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
