I think you hit the key word, right on the head.
LEOS carry firearms that
could be used to execute speeders on the spot, and nightsticks that
could be used to bludgeon kittens to death.
I'm in Michigan. Seems to me we have a lot of newspapers "like that". We also have some interesting Militias.
I have an early version of one of those devices, called a Toshiba Laptop. There's a free program, available on the internet, called "bitpim" that lets me read most of the info trom a phone via its cable. Nothing new here.
There's another that can be used "side by side" with bitpim to change some of the settings on cell phones, that can't be changed via the keys on the phone. Recommend the latter be used very carefully.
In Michigan, and perhaps elsewhere, we are encouraged to have an entry on our phones under "ICE", In Case of Emergency. LEOs, EMTs, and ER personnel are becoming more and more used to looking in your cell phone for that entry.
I don't doubt, though, that if a cell phone becomes evidence, just like a knife on a suspects belt, the phone and all on it, just like the knife and all on it, will be explored. That doesn't bother me a bit.
Just MHO, however.
