Connecticut v. Smith, SC 20600 (Ct.)

All Rise Trial & Appellate filed a brief on behalf of Upturn in a case addressing the allowable scope of cellphone searches by law enforcement. The brief explains why powerful mobile device forensic tools allow virtually unfettered access to a person’s life, and why courts must impose limits on the scope of such searches to protect individual liberties and comport with historical protections from the warrant requirement and other search doctrines.

Update: the Court has unanimously ruled that searches of entire cellphones do not comply with the constitution.
