It has emerged that Michigan State Police have been using a high-tech mobile forensics device that can extract information from over 3,000 models of mobile phone, potentially grabbing all media content from your iPhone in under two minutes.

The CelleBrite UFED is a handheld device that Michigan officers have been using since August 2008 to copy information from mobile phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations. The device can circumvent password restrictions and extract existing, hidden, and deleted phone data, including call history, text messages, contacts, images, and geotags.

In short, it can copy everything on your smartphone in a matter of minutes.

Well, note to self. Turn off my cell phone when I get pulled over.

abortion is protected under right to privacy, but text messages to and from your mother, wife/husband, children, lover......aren't?

(i'm not commenting on abortion, just the wide net cast for one issue, and the fine line for the other. seems contradictory.)

It seems that most govt's need a refresher on what the constitution is.
