Woman fears police will use nude pix

An Illinois woman police say is a suspect in a car vandalism case says she fears what officers will do with the nude pictures on her confiscated cellphone.

Bridget Polaski, 45, said she was stopped while walking to her Romeoville home from Walmart Aug. 6 and officers confiscated her phone, The (Joliet ,Ill.) Herald-News reported Friday. Polaski said one of the officers "asked me if my boobs were fake or real -- asked me straight out."

Polaski, who was detained for about 2 hours, said she heard officers at the police station laughing about her "fully nude" pictures on the iPhone. "I'm just really upset about my pictures being all over the Internet, if that's where they end up landing," Polaski said.

Deputy Police Chief Mark Turvey said no officers viewed the pictures and the phone was taken because Polaski is a suspect in a car vandalism case. "She's a suspect in a criminal damage to property investigation and the officer had reason to believe she had text messages on her phone related to the damage and some threats she had made," Turvey said.

12. I agree, absolutely!
An adult woman, or man, should be able to have those pics on their own phone. Is it really legal for law enforcement to invade your privacy this way?

9. They are probably on the cops phones by now, LOL.
Why do people email nude pics? I don't get it? Maybe I'm just old.

2. While I can understand her plight, the simple fact is
If you don't want anyone to see nude pics of you, DON'T TAKE THEM.

10. Would the cops need a warrant before looking through her phone?

19. Cellphone is like computer - police must have warrant to search:
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/12/15/cell_phone_decision.html

Police can't search the contents of a cell phone without a warrant unless they have reason to think their lives are in danger, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled today in a split decision. The court said a cell phone is not a "container" -- whose contents police may examine without a warrant -- but closer to a computer, which requires a warrant to search.

---------------------------

I hope this is the case in other states.

Someone else posted that here too. Doesn't matter to me, even if she was a former stripper.
if they had warrant to look @ texts, they shouldn't have been looking @ pictures.

22. Don't the police need a warrant to execute a search of the phone's contents?
Oh, right. That was BEFORE their USA PATRIOT Act voided the Fourth Amendment.
