Why you should always encrypt your smartphone

Why you should always encrypt your smartphone
"What's more, the US Supreme Court has held that police may arrest you for simple misdemeanors, such as driving without a seatbelt or having unpaid parking tickets.
While police don't typically arrest individuals for such trivial infractions, all it takes is one unlucky police encounter and you could end up behind bars.
If that happens, and your mobile phone is on your person, it may be subject to a warrantless search.
If police dig up an incriminating text message, e-mail, or errant image file on your mobile device, it might be enough to convince a judge to issue a search warrant of your property—or, worse, lead to criminal charges being filed against you."

The future?
