Do cops need a warrant to search your phone? US Supreme Court will rule

Do cops need a warrant to search your phone? US Supreme Court will rule • The Register:
"The US Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a pair of cases to determine whether police need a warrant to search the mobile phones of people they have arrested.

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution forbids "unreasonable" search and seizure, but in 1973 the Supreme Court ruled that conducting a full search of an arrestee's person and belongings was not unreasonable, even without a search warrant."
