Police Phone Search Rules

Summary

Police generally need a warrant to search your phone in California. Exceptions include exigent circumstances, consent, or incident to a lawful arrest. Evidence obtained illegally typically cannot be used in court. To retrieve items taken by police, file a claim with the police department or a motion in court. For allegations of police corruption, file an administrative complaint, a complaint with the California Department of Justice, or a lawsuit in civil court. Public records on charges against the Baldwin Park Police Department can be accessed through local court records, FOIA requests, or California Public Records Act requests. Consult a lawyer for personalized advice.
