Guess what the cops in Michigan are doing to motorist they pull over. They don't ask permission. They demand you hand over your cell ph. They don't explain why or what they do with the info they steal from your phone. It is illegal. It promises to make the news in the near future.

I don't have anything to hide on my phone but I agree with this article that it violates our rights. Only should happen with probable cause or a warrant. Will be surprised if this doesn't stop.
