Wacky Judges: No protection for electronic communications 'cause you know its there
Court: Cops can read suspect's texts, spring text trap

"Under implied consent reasoning, a police officer's simple possession
of a smartphone is sufficient to imply or infer consent of the
communicating parties. This reasoning can easily and dangerously be
extended to allow warrantless State searches of any digital device
that police come to possess, all contrary to the Act itself," the
dissent said "Following the majority's analysis, any communication
that has a traceable electronic or paper trail will not be protected
because consent to disclosure can be implied from the trail."
