Exactly. Not to mention that though I'm sure 99% of cops out there are good at their job and wouldn't do harm to a citizen in their custody, I still don't trust a stranger to go through my personal information which can include passwords to accounts, credit card numbers, etc. as well as personal messages between myself and others (and as just pointed out...that means that person's privacy is being invaded as well). I don't understand why a cell phone should be the exception to the rule.
