How would that differ from being able to wipe information in computers? Oh, right, it wouldn't. Therefore, what difference would mention of that fact make? Law enforcement officers have the right to search suspects for any dangerous objects. Electronic data aren't dangerous, so it is not a matter of protecting the officer. If a search is reasonable, a judge will issue a warrant. If a search is a fishing operation, a judge might not be so accommodating. David for safe police and safe citizens REGARDING:
