Former Dallas FBI Agent Danny Defenbaugh said the ruling gives law enforcement a leg up. “I think not only will it help them, but it could be life saving,” said the former Special Agent, who was based in Dallas.

The decision stems from an Indiana case where police arrested a man for dealing drugs. An officer searched the suspect’s cell phone without warrant.....

I wish Android had OS level encryption so that the entire phone could be encrypted and password protected.

Wipe out messages after sending them and set phone numbers up in some random order that they won't figure out immediately and use code names so that you have to type them in rather than pulling from your contacts. Heck, don't even have many contacts - put them in the Notes section and just have a few businesses and family members in contacts. If the police man asks you why, say it's because you don't trust anyone with your contacts.

Oh, yeah, I'm getting arrested for not even doing anything...

Why not just REMEMBER phone numbers like everybody used to.

I barely know my own number...recent trip to NOLA taught me that I don't even remember my wife's number when a friend borrowed a cell from a stranger and called his wife...damn smiley

****. I know every number I call with any regularity at all.

I don't even use the contact list in my SO's phone when I'm using it. It's faster to just dial.

Well, it's not like it takes any effort or anything.... If I call a number a couple of times, I'll remember it for a long time.

There have to be some cell phone blanking security programs in the market now right? Setup similar to how home security systems have the SOS code.

Basically:
Oh.. yeah here's my unlock code '1234'... Then the get the 'resetting phone to factory defaults' message. Thinking to get the data out after that they would need a warrant right?

I still know all the old house numbers of my friends parent's home lines. People changed their cell phone number (back before numbers were required to be portable) so much that I gave up trying to remember someone's new cell number every few months.

My next phone will be a landline (tied to a google voice number, so people can text / leave voicemail, and so I can pre-screen calls (if you're in my address book, phone rings... if not, it goes to voicemail)

Doesn't Google keep a transcript of every voice conversation? The cops will just get that info from them.

Asi, you are obviously a lot younger than I am so your brain isn't as filled up.

Case in point: My daughter's high school did the musical Bye Bye Birdie this past weekend. We went Saturday night and I knew the words to just about every song in the darn thing because I grew up listening to the stage album (along with other musicals). She couldn't understand how I could do that but can't remember her cell number without looking. Easy - those were memorized and there's no room for anything new now.

I'm going with my scheme for coding the numebrs even though I'm not a drug dealer.

Antone, all data / voice that runs on AT&T and Verizon's lines is monitored (if not outright copied). The telcoms were granted immunity for their cooperation in blatant violation of the law.

Hepting v. AT&T anyone?

I don't know anyone's number, including my own. If I actually had to DIAL a number, then I'd remember them like I used to. Hell, I was practically a walking phone book back in the day...problem is when all the phones started having programmable memory; no one ever had to remember a phone number again. It doesn't help that in today's age of portable technology, no one keeps a phone number very long.
