Comments on: More iPhones subject to search warrants, iPads too http://gigaom.com/2012/05/02/more-iphones-subject-to-search-warrants-ipads-too/ Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:42:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Nick Stone http://gigaom.com/2012/05/02/more-iphones-subject-to-search-warrants-ipads-too/#comment-840914 Sun, 13 May 2012 08:54:08 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=516594#comment-840914 If you care at all about privacy, you don’t use ANYTHING that can log any information of any sort at all (this includes ATMs, too). No Social Security, no I.D., no debit/credit/ATM cards, no birth certificate, no nothing…yes, it is extreme, but really, that would be the only way in this day & age to actually GET any REAL privacy….. :( :( :( :(

This makes sense to ensure a suspect doesn’t have weapons or contraband but it is unclear why the exception should also let cops get into the contents of a smartphone. While some courts have put brakes on this practice, others have said it is fair game.”

The search incident to arrest is for weapons, contraband, or other evidence of a crime on the person arrested. For example, the little baggie of prescription pills that were in his pocket and then the text “ya man I have 4 bars, 20 each” that were on his phone shows that the pills were not personal use.

You’re right, this applies to any smartphone or tablet. I wasn’t trying to mislead with the headline – it just reflects the fact my research was restricted to iPhone/iPads (they’re easy to search for) . But, yes, you’re right that more people will pay attention when Apple is involved.

What about when you sell your iPhone to factory condition? I thought all data is totally erased from the device? If this is NOT the case, then the next upgrade I go to I’m going to put my old iPhone in my blender to see if it blends. Also, would it be more secure if email was checked through the browser instead of using the native mail app?
