I kind of want to put this out there and get opinions on it.

Pennsylvania law just went into affect today making it illegal to text while driving. I agree with this and making it hands free. It's called blue tooth people let's be safe about it. When I get into my car and drive everyday my phone automatically connects with my blue tooth in my jeep and my phone stays in my pocket. Now with that said just to clarify.

I like this law, but I have one problem with how it could be abused on the end of the officer. He/she can pull you over on suspicion of texting and if you weren't apparently he/she can ask to see your phone as proof. This is were I start to have problems with it. I don't need some cop going through my personal messages just to prove my innocence. Those are my private messages. I am all about freedoms and rights and I am not about to comply with something that gives up my freedoms as a US citizen just to entertain this notion.

My question is, wouldn't they need a warrant to technically search your phone if they are not arresting you?

So I need some lawyer friends to chime in and give me something that will hold up when I say it to the officer to prevent my privacy from being invaded.
