There is no long standing jurisprecedent because the devices haven't existed that long. Additionally, the government no longer has the respect for private citizens that it once did. |

They've arrested a drug dealer's home and then posed as drug dealers then arresting all the customers that came over for many years. I first remember it happening in East Side San Jose 30+ years ago. A friend lived down the block and called me to come over and watch the funny with him. One of the cops came over and asked us to stop cheering when they arrested a customer. After that level of invasion of privacy, how different is it to send a text or ten on someone's phone? Are you going to make texting on someone else's phone illegal? I don't necessarily approve of it, but I don't see how you can legally argue that it is any worse than what they already have free reign to do. |

If the phone is equal to evidence, the police using that device to illicit material without a search warrant, and then modifying the device by their use poses lots of problems. Other courts have gotten it right where the Washington court failed. |
