The Supreme Court issued a ruling Wednesday that police may not generally search the cellphones of people they arrest without search warrants.

The justices, in a unanimous decision, said cellphones are powerful devices unlike anything else police may find on someone they arrest.

Chief Justice John Roberts said because the phones contain so much information, police must get a warrant before looking through them.

Personally, I'm extremely happy to see this. Anyone that's ever been detained by police will probably feel the same, as they normally take your cellphone. Regardless of if your cellphone has anything incriminating, it's no fun to have your cellphone taken and searched.
