Pulled Over Today

[ignuz]

Well I went for a look at the surf ( I live near Bondi ) and got pulled over a kabillion times.. no suprise.. then they asked to look at my phone? Didn't want to look sus so i agreed.. happened a few times.. but in coogee when i got my phone back it said one message recieved. I opened it.. and it was a bluetooth file it said not trusted do you wish to install something device.. WTF??!! Was he trying to monitor me or something??

[chaos]

he would need your number to send you something wouldnt he? and they can't monitor you without a court order but seeing all the shit going on down there at the moment wouldnt be surprised if they had one.

[dezz]

bluetooth just detects bluetooth devices within range, not phone numbers...so if your phone's bluetooth was enabled, it coulda picked up whatever....might have come from anywhere though, just when u got within range of another bluetooth device. sounds sus as.

[funkymonkey]

coke machines use bluetooth these days to accept orders, they credit you for the coke on your phone bill. So yeah, could have been anyone or anything really.

[SKYL9]

if he wanted to install what ever software on your phone he would have kept your phone and installed it b4 giving it back..

why would a cop ask for your phone tho?

In case it has a SMS sent or recieved that incites violence.

Legally speaking, they have no right to just take your phone out of the blue, they need something to go on, reasonable suspicion to justify it. Otherwise, there would be no phone privacy or right to possession.

It would otherwise be a contravention of justice, but thats a lawyer speaking. I guess, if you've got nothing sus, then you've got nothing to hide. But that said, they wouldn't have any natural right to take your phone, or any other property.

If it had been me, I would have refused to hand over my phone, and see where it ended up!

...it's a damn shame being a lawyer...

I didn't want to show my phone, but seeing as i had nothing to hide, i didn't want the problem to get worse <_< Yea i spose, but I don't think my bluetooth was activated.. meh i dunno.. what had me going was that it said do you want to install.. i mean how many bluetooth things are there that let you install something.. ( not including games.. etc )

They can be given all the special powers they like, but our rights to privacy and to be able to conduct our various businesses without undue harrassment are constitutionally protected, which cannot be absolved by any law of this country...

it was santa claus in disguise checking to see if you've been good or bad.

[race_snooze]

Are you an Australian lawyer?

Can you please tell me where exactly in the Australian Constitution our "right to privacy" is?

I ran a search through this document for the word "privacy" (and this one too), and it appears as if the Australians' constitutional right to privacy is in the paragraph preceding the Australian constitutional right to freedom of speech....
