Not far enough.
The contents of a citizen’s phone is private property and asking to see a citizen’s phone should require a warrant. The interaction with the phone should be required to be under video surveillance. And deletion of any of the content should be considered theft. A policeman, should be henceforth immediately suspended for any interaction with a citizen’s personal phone. This has got to stop. Data is protected.
The citizen should have immediately locked his phone, in any case. As which point, the police would have had no way to access the telephone. But the fact that they interacted with his telephone, should lead to immediate suspension, if not firing. This won’t stop until we have strong enough laws in place to ensure that the police can’t do a coverup. In fact, when asking for a citizen’s phone, they should immediately need to notify a citizen of their right of refusal and that they may lock it until a warrant is issued.

The thought that these two dicks will likely keep their jobs infuriates me. They really are accountable to no one but themselves.
