We granted review in this case to decide whether the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution permits law enforcement officers, approximately 90 minutes after lawfully arresting a suspect and transporting him to a detention facility, to conduct a warrantless search of the text message folder of a cell phone they take from his person after the arrest.
We hold that, under the United States Supreme Court's binding precedent, such a search is valid as being incident to a lawful custodial arrest.
We affirm the Court of Appeal's judgment.
Deeper and deeper in to the quagmire we fall.....
