Police pull you over, allegedly for a traffic violation. After you provide your license and registration, the officer catches you off guard by asking: \u201cSince you\u2019ve got nothing to hide, you don\u2019t mind unlocking your phone for me, do you?\u201d Of course, you don\u2019t want the officer to copy or rummage through all the private information on your phone. But they\u2019ve got a badge and a gun, and you just want to go home. If you\u2019re like most people, you grudgingly comply.<\/p><p>Police use this ploy, thousands of times every year, to evade the Fourth Amendment\u2019s requirement that police obtain a warrant, based on a judge\u2019s independent finding of probable cause of crime, before searching someone\u2019s phone. These misleadingly named \u201cconsent searches\u201d invade our digital privacy, disparately burden people of color, undermine judicial supervision of police searches, and rest on a legal fiction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EFF: So-called \u201cConsent Searches\u201d Harm Our Digital Rights by Adam Schwartz:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,125,123],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-consent","category-digital-privacy","category-digital-searches"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46865,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46864\/revisions\/46865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
