It Is Necessary to Have Proper Legal Authority to Conduct a Forensic Examination of Cell Phones

DFI News has a three paragraph excerpt from Don L. Lewis' article, Examining Cellular Phones and Handheld Devices.  The excerpt and the full article present, amongst other more technical items, case law and discussion regarding the legal authority of searching and conducting a forensic examination of cell phones and handheld devices.  With the exception of the man whose car I jump-started this week, just about everyone else I know over the age of twelve carries at least one smartphone or wireless handheld device (such as an iPod, iPad, PDA, etc).  Chances are that whether you are prosecuting, defending, or involved in commercial litigation, it is important to make sure examination of these devices is handled properly.
