Bench to Badge distills key U.S. Supreme Court cases into clear, practical video training for law enforcement. Each module ties landmark rulings to everyday policing, helping officers make informed, defensible decisions, strengthen public trust, and reduce overall risk.
Riley v. California (2014) held that law enforcement officers generally must obtain a warrant before searching digital information on a cell phone seized during an arrest. This decision grounded its reasoning in the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, emphasizing that traditional search-incident-to-arrest exceptions do not extend to digital data.
For law enforcement, the ruling underscores the necessity of securing a warrant before accessing the contents of a cell phone, absent exigent circumstances.
