Is it right that an officer should have his personal cell on him? Can it be used against him in court?
Case in Mexico, officer thought he would have an easy win until a phone call on his personal cell phone was brought up in court which quickly turned the tables. The call apparently tipped the officer off about the whereabouts of the gold Acura they were looking for.

Thanks Ashley. After reading the article there did not seem to be any confirmation that such a phone call took place, but the overall issue regarding police officers' privacy of their personal cell phone records is a good one. Should the use of a personal phone during their shift be subject to examination at any time? What do you think?
