3:08 am
digital age. >> reporter: the decision stems from two cases, one in california, one in massachusetts where police search the phones of two of men arrested and found evidence of other criminal conduct. the government argued that searching a suspect's cell phone was like searching his wallet which is allowed under the law. writing for the court, chief justice john roberts mocked the motion that a wallet was analogous to phones. that is like saying a ride on horseback is indistinguishable from a flight to the moon. robert concluded the court was issuing a simple command to police who want to search a phone. get a warrant. justices acknowledged this opinion will make it harder for law enforcement to comb battle crime. as chief justice roberts said privacy comes at a cost. and this opinion is so sweeping in its reasoning it goes beyond people who are arrested. it is basically the court telling the government to back off from our digital lives.
