What is the standard for law enforcement to search your cell phone? Well the Supreme Court states that the police must get search warrants for most cell phone searches, not all (Supreme Court Searches”, 2014). Two cases linked to the Supreme Court decision would be the Riley v. California and U.S. v. Wurie. In the Riley v. California case, Riley was pulled over for a traffic violation. Riley was driving a different car than what was registered to him and he was driving around on suspended license registration tags. Also Riley was driving around on a suspended license. Following procedure, the car must be impounded, but before its impounded the car is allowed to be searched for an inventory search. During the inventory search, police found two guns, which led to Riley being arrested on possession of firearms. Law enforcement had already been watching Riley, thinking that he was involved in gang related activities. While Riley was under arrest, police confiscated his phone. The police had a gang unit detective go through Riley’s phone, and the detective did find that Riley was gang affiliated. Riley had videos and photos of gang related things stored on his phone. Law enforcement was able to connect Riley to a shooting, which led to separate charges that included, attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic weapon, and shooting at an occupied vehicle. Riley was convicted all …show more content…
Right now, it’s not hard for law enforcement to obtain anyone’s emails. All law enforcement has to do is go to your email provider and state that they are doing an investigation.

    United Sates V. Lopez Case Study

    I too think that having a gun on school grounds is a serious crime. In the case of United Sates v. Lopez it should have only been up to the state to punish him, but that wasn't the case. Lopez's crime should not have been punishable under the Commerce Crime and that was exactly what the ruling upheld. The Commerce Crime had nothing to do with the Gun Free School Zone Act and therefore it was unconstitutional. Great discussion.…

    Baker V. Carr Case Analysis

    In Baker v Carr, the majority made up the basis for asserting jurisdiction because the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, did not give it the power to do so. The Constitution never mentioned anything regarding state election procedure, other than that it could not hinder any legal rights of its citizens as mentioned in the Constitution and that the number of representatives per state were to be determined by state population. Therefore, the Constitution never mentioned that federal courts had the jurisdiction to hear constitutional questions to regarding state elections; the majority simply made that up in order to hear the case. There is no branch of federal government that specializes in redistricting. Since representatives' political…

    Pros And Cons Of Article Phone Patrol

    You get pulled over by the police and they arrest you over several suspicions, the police start checking you and eventually they land on your phone, they take it and start sifting through it? Has this officer gone too far? I don't think so, I think that officials should be able to use information they obtained from private devices or social networking sites in order to protect the community. What if the person the police had arrested was actually a bad person, if they search his phone they might find crucial information to convict the person. As explained in the article Phone Patrol “...Officers are allowed to ‘open and examine’ what they find on an arrested person, without a warrant”.…

    “Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as Director of CIA, David H. Petraeus”. Since the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency was not able to keep his personal digital content private, can anyone expect their email to be protected from law enforcement without a warrant? Why should anyone have to face such embarrassment about their personal life when it’s not affecting their career? Whether there’s enough protection against obtaining someone information has always been a huge debate with digital privacy. Finding that the director of CIA was having an affair can be seen as a small offense, but what if information was obtained showing that he has been…
