COURTS CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH THE PROCESS OF TECHNOLOGY Throughout the Constitution, federal governments have violated the Fourth Amendment by invading people's privacy and personal information  When someone is "detained," the government or federal agents are not permitted to search the criminal's phone without a search warrant.
