New Device Allows Cops to Download All of Your Smartphone Activity in Seconds


“Any person who operates a motor vehicle in the state shall be deemed to have given consent to field testing of his or her mobile telephone and/or personal electronic device for the purpose of determining the use thereof while operating a motor vehicle, provided that such testing is conducted by or at the direction of a police officer.”

"That’s language from the text of a bill currently working its way through the New York state legislature."

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

Actually the bill only applies to drivers who have been in an accident.

What a surprise that it's the State that thinks Government should tell you what size drinks you can purchase, taxes you the most, wastes the most tax payer money and has the worst personal freedoms in the Country, wants to violate your rights by seizing your personal property without a warrant. This will go to the Supreme Court if it passes.

I know it's not the point, but can't someone come up with an app that will prevent their device from working?

Sounds like a money maker to me.

K-9 units have allowed them to break our constitutional protections. They'll have the dog hit on your phone so they can illegally search it. "Bark twice if there's nudes on it, boy! Good boy"

Hate to bust the bubble of everyone who sees this as another Big Brother moment but if you take the time to read the proposed law it states:
"USE OF AN ELECTRONIC SCANNING DEVICE SHALL BE LIMITED TO DETERMINING WHETHER THE OPERATOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WAS USING A MOBILE TELEPHONE OR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE IN VIOLATION OF EITHER SUCH SECTION AT OR NEAR THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT OR COLLISION WHICH PROVIDES THE GROUNDS FOR SUCH TESTING.
FURTHERMORE, NO SUCH ELECTRONIC SCAN SHALL INCLUDE THE CONTENT OR ORIGIN OF ANY COMMUNICATION OR GAME CONDUCTED, OR IMAGE OR ELECTRONIC DATA VIEWED, ON A MOBILE TELEPHONE OR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE."

So this will only hurt you if you were committing a crime. If you were not illegally texting while driving nothing happens. I am willing to give up some freedoms to protect me from the idiot who texts and drives. Lock em up!

This is why we need self driving cars,so people can text while driving. They do it now anyways.
Never mind red light cameras, if states and cities really want to make money they should go after people who text and drive,it's an epidemic.

That isn't entirely accurate. They eventually did get into that iPhone (without Apple's help). Only the very latest model iPhone makes it difficult and it won't be long before there's a way around that.

I don't know much about the guts of iOS having mostly worked in the Android ecosystem but would their security architecture prevent the kind of traffic analysis that seems to be the goal here? I know they encrypt the user data but this seems to be more focused on getting the data collected by the OS regarding app activity. I took a quick look at the iOS10 security docs but the only relevant item I saw was the ability of user to turn off the collection of usage data. Any iOS developers on the thread have a better understanding of why an iPhone would be any different from an Android as far as this type of analysis?

What if you're texting using the "hey Siri" or "okay google" voice functions? That's pretty much what I do when I'm driving.

Then again, I don't live in CA or NY. Unfortunately NV is getting closer and closer....

so if someone were to text you while you're driving and you had an accident at that moment (for sake of this discussion, let's say you didn't even read the text), would that qualify as use of your phone?

Why are they driving if they have a self-driving car? (-;

Let me fix/add to that for you. We need self-driving cars, so people can LEGALLY text, drink, smoke pot, eat, fornicate and sleep while riding.

Too bad, because according to the 2014 Supreme Court ruling of Rodriguez vs U.S., police cant hold you for more than the time it takes you to write the traffic ticket. If they dont have the dogs with them on the spot when they pull you over, they cant make you wait for it. Dont let these corrupt cops hold you, 99% of the time they dont even have the k9s with them.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

That's if they don't have reasonable suspicion.... If your talking about a regular stop sign ticket or something like that, then your somewhat correct. And I believe it's not literally the time to write a traffic ticket, as you state, it's a reasonable time for a ruitine traffic stop, which is fact specific. Also, it's not hard to find reasonable suspicion in many cases, especially in a traffic stop where someone's judgment seems impaired (e.g. Blowing stop signs/red lights, speeding, swerving, you see where I'm going with this...)

Nobody has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the smells coming out of their houses or cars (or anything really).

Back to the OP, I don't think this is a bad thing. Not only for the criminal aspect of things, if someone is killed and you prove that the person was on the phone or texting (both illegal in NY), but also for civil suits, as it will help establish negligence per see or help establish the percentages of negligence (liability) for damages etc...

And for the record, I'm from NY.

Here's what makes my stomach turn about this:

Quote: bill

shall be deemed to have given consent



That is not how consent works and it is a perversion of civil rights.

But take note Bill Cosby, heres your defence for your next trial. "Any woman who agrees to have a cappuchino with me shall be deemed to have given consent to drug consumption and sexual intercourse."

It's called a "license" for a reason. If you object to the requirements, you don't have to get one.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

the reality is if you fully embrace the modern world and all its gadgets your personal life is a book waiting to be opened by whoever has the skill, desire, deviousness or misplaced authority to do so. you almost might as well as have somebody videoing your entire life and uploading it to facebook live.

And you're cool with the "requirements" unilaterally changing at any time *after* you get it?

Also, many people's livelyhoods depend on them using a car, driving is more than just a pastime. People can't just "not drive anymore".
