Should Police Officers be Allowed to Search Phones without a Warrant

A topic of debate today is whether or not police officers should be allowed to search phones without a warrant. This would certainly qualify as a invasion of privacy, however it also has the potential of saving lives. I personally believe that it is an invasion of privacy and therefore in order for a police officer to search someone's phone they will need a warrant. While it is true that phones may contain information that could potentially hurt people, many people who text such things or look up related things on the internet are usually in a state of anger that would pass. Police officers should not search someone's personal phone just because the phone's owner may have been in a dark place at one time. At the very least, the officer should have a warrant.
