News just broke minutes ago. No details yet as to what these special cases are when it's allowed.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that police officers usually need a warrant before they can search an arrested suspect's cellphone.

The court said on a 9-0 vote that the right of police to search an arrested suspect at the scene without a warrant does not extend in most circumstances to data held on a cell phone.

I was reading the opinion. Good for the 4th Amendment! It's not totally dead yet.

Now if we can only get the US Government to follow the law
