This is a gross violation of the 4th Amendment

Twelve people died over several years in crashes related to phone use while driving.

Twelve.

And the state of New York think every cop should be able to get a forensic copy of every driver's phone because of it?

No.

That's ridiculously unconstitutional.

I agree. I'm not cool with the idea of some hardware device being plugged into my own, with no idea what the device even does, or records.
