Some judge had ruled that refusing to allow police to search you vehicle was enough probable cause to do so. Another ruled your car was not covered by private property rights. Cell phones are private property and should be treated the same as your home or landline. Police should not be able to search your phone without probable cause and/or a subpena. The example shows the police had probable cause to get one.
