Riley v. California and United States v. Wurie - Post-Argument SCOTUScast

On April 29, 2014, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in two cellphone privacy cases, Riley v. California and United States v. Wurie. The question in Riley v. California is whether evidence obtained in a search of petitioner's cell phone and admitted at petitioner's trial violated the petitioner's Fourth Amendment rights. The question in United States v. Wurie is whether the Fourth Amendment permits the police, without obtaining a warrant, to review the call log of a cellphone found on a person who has been lawfully arrested.

To discuss the case, we have Orin Kerr, who is the Fred C. Stevenson Research Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School.
