Privacy invasion much?
Its bad enough law enforcement already abuses their authority but today it may have taken a turn that’s up for questioning. This morning, the Supreme Court proposed an argument regarding cell phones search. Its a tough decision to decide on whether or not the police should be able to search cellphones found on the people they arrest without first getting a warrant. The subject was brought up in relation to the cases involving David Riley who was sentenced to 15 years for his ties in a drive by shooting in Los Angeles. The other case is Brima Wurie, who was arrested for buying crack cocaine in 2007. Although these cases and issues were withheld in the Supreme Court, it effects more than 90 percent of Americans that own at least one cell phone. According to Fox News the justices suggested that they might favor limiting warantless cellphone searches to looking for evidence of the crime on which an arrest is based. A decision so sketchy may lead the police into targeting subjects for minor crimes in hopes of going through their phone to find evidence on something that can lead to a even bigger crime. Think before you act, as well as the Supreme Court should think before they rule.
