City announces cell phone ban.

If he can provide reasonable suspicion he can search for it in the vehicle, if not then no he cannot have my cellphone!

Keep in mind, also, that "reasonable suspicion" is an invented legal principle intended to circumvent the constitution. What does the constitution say about searches? That they be done only with a warrant involving an oath and PROBABLE CAUSE. And I dont see any evidence, absent what the state has arrogated to itself, that the State can detain you while they try to get one.

A cop may be able to force his will on you, and a judge may uphold it, but the constitution calls it illegal. I guess we didn't recognize when the pigs started strutting about in the farmyard with whips in their hooves (pigs being an Animal Farm reference, not a perjorative for the police, though it's interesting how they intersect in this case).

I do believe I'll make that in to a T-shirt logo and print a few off.
I agree with your post about the legalities of it, and the realities of what has become the 'law' today.
