The Fourth Amendment, however, is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law, the U.S. Federal Courts website states.
The case concerned officers searching a suspect's phone without a warrant and obtaining evidence admitted in court. Ultimately, the court ruled this was in violation of the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights, according to the Oyez, a multimedia archive for the Supreme Court.
If a judge issues a search warrant, it must specifically include which cellphone is to be searched and the evidence that it is being searched for, the law states. However, according to the Supreme Court of California, police can perform a warrantless search of your cellphone only under "exigent circumstances."
