An unfortunate soul at my educational institution was brought down today, after a long reign of providing a vast cliental base with our beloved cannabis. It appears someone was tipped off, and although his name and the activities he engaged in were clear to the institutions officials for a long time, it seems as if this pushed it over the edge and allowed them to take him down. Although a nice person, he did not go quietly, and dug himself a very deep hole by physically resisting arrest and possibly assaulting both the institutions staff, and the officers who tried to arrest him. Had he gone quietly, depending on how much cannabis he had on him, and assuming he didn't have any other narcotics, which is certainly possible, he probably could have gotten off with a warning and a long suspension.
My question is as follows: What are the laws pertaining to the searching of his mobile phone? I understand that some states require a warrant, and others do not. But assuming officials did gain access to his phone, and a slew of texts that could potentially incriminate over a hundred others, would they be able to act on these texts and discipline/charge those he was in contact with? I imagine that some of the transmissions were vague and unincriminating, while others were probably very blunt and straight forward about their intentions with this cannabis vendor.
Could someone offer some insight? Preferably one of our many very intelligent members who is familliar with the law? I would prefer not to list the state in which this happened but if it's extremely pertinent I think I can, I doubt the cyber police are stalking me. Famous last words. :/

of the phone bills/cost, its public access and everything can be used against you, and possibly published online. A little more dramatic, but search the terms Kwame Kilpatrick and Detroit. It is/was good soap opera, and a learning lesson for all if nothing else. 
& love always.
