In Riley v. California, 573 U.S. 373 (2014), the Court held that police officers must generally obtain a warrant before searching a cell phone seized incident to arrest because of the distinctive privacy interests in digital information. The Court did not address what a search warrant application for a cell phone must contain in order to establish probable cause.

The questions presented are:

1. Does the Fourth Amendment permit the issuance of a search warrant for a cell phone absent case-specific facts connecting the alleged crime and the phone?

2. Does the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule apply where the search warrant application for a cell phone lacks case-specific facts connecting the alleged crime and the phone?

Does the Fourth Amendment permit the issuance of a search warrant for a cell phone absent case-specific facts connecting the alleged crime and the phone?
