'Can I take a look at your phone?': Police powers to search mobile phones
This article examines whether there is sufficient clarity around the power of police officers to search a person's mobile phone without a warrant and whether further legislative protections are needed. It examines the law in different Australian jurisdictions and argues that the law is uncertain and that greater clarity and safeguards are required to set the appropriate boundaries for the exercise of police powers to ensure that the rights of individuals are adequately protected.
