"This committee is being asked by some today to jettison precisely the type of categorical rules that the Supreme Court held were imperative" in a unanimous 2014 Supreme Court case requiring police to obtain a warrant before searching the contents of a cell phone during an arrest, said Salgado, referring to the ruling in Riley v. California.
