Lock & encrypt your cellphone to prevent warrantless searches

0

Since the police always had the right to search your cell phone (or anything on you or in your vehicle, for as long as they had probable cause) you may want to password protect and encrypt your device (cellphone and laptop). Protect your privacy from “Big Brother” spies, you have the right to remain silent and they will need a warrant to go further, if encrypted, a warrant won’t help the police.
