The Editorial Board of the New York Times reported on 6-25-2014 that the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that police officers cannot in times of non-emergency search someone's cell phone without their expressed permission or a search warrant.
This is great news that begins to enter the neighborhood of protect individual rights, including protetcting our right to privacy.
I would like to see Mark Levin, the ACLU and a representative of Mavellonialism like myself (I have no followers of course,) serve on an advisory committee to instruct Congress, the state legislatures and the courts on how to protect individual liberties, rights and privacy of private persons without dictatorial and unconstitutional intrusion by raiding police departments.
We cannot evolve into polities/cantons that are undergirded by constitutional republicanism without agreeing that modern technology owned by the individual is private property, and cannot be searched without a warrant.
