A smartphone is a digital diary, location tracker, and personal secretary; and police can access all of it (sometimes without a warrant).

· Why consenting to a phone search is more dangerous than your client realizes.
· When to challenge extraction of irrelevant, private data as a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
