whenever you get pulled over pull out your batterie or your sim card and everythang will be fine. or dont put anything illegal over text or whatever and you should be fine.
I'm going to put police, state and federal #'s in my contacts, thank you for the heads up.
From the looks of it Nattoli was growing and selling marijuana, which in California, who isn't? I wonder if he was an MMJ patient or just a regular street dealer. The gun that was found in his vehicle was totally legal, his major mistake was not keeping it in the trunk. Now when SWAT raided his house they found a cache of weapons, but they fail to say what these weapons were and if they were illegal.
I don't trust the police that they are just looking for some connection to drugs or weapons. They are fishing for anything that can be used to generate revenue.
I don't know what that could possibly be but I wouldn't put it past them to make something up and say it was on your cell phone.
Same way as they throw a bag of chalk into a car and say it's drugs so they can confiscate the vehicle.
The police are out of control, they can do whatever they want so if they are going to treat everyone like a criminal people have to start thinking like one to stay ahead of them.
sure, there are ways to get around this by hiding your phone or breaking it, etc. my point is WE SHOULDN'T BE SUBJECT TO THIS AT ALL!
it's illegal and wrong. it violates your rights to privacy, unlawful searches, and seizure of property. you can put up with it and deal with it, or you can say "go F*** yourself".
You are angry because the police are using totally legal means of searching criminal's cell phones, locating evidence of crime and charging those criminals with a crime.

Or, how about you dont do anything illegal in the first place.
That way, you absolutely wont have anything "illegal" to put over text.

Unfortunately, you are taking your assumption that it was medical marijuana as fact.
If he was charged with possession of marijuana for sale then it was most likely not medicinal marijuana because they could not charge him if he had a perscription. Just like the oxycontin and morphine sulfate he was caught with.
So, if he is in possession of illegal substances it is also illegal for him to possess ANY firearm as well.
You answered your own question.
Reid Nottoli was pulled over on December 6, 2009 just before 2am as he was taking a female friend home. Santa Cruz County Deputy Sheriff Steven Ryan said Nottoli's silver Acura TL had been speeding on Highway 1. After speaking with Nottoli on the side of the road, Ryan suspected the 25-year-old was under the influence of a stimulant drug. His license was also expired, so Ryan said he would impound the vehicle. Nottoli asked if his car could stay parked on the side of the road, which was not heavily traveled and out of the way. Ryan refused so that he could conduct an "inventory" search prior to the towing. Ryan testified that Nottoli's driving was not impaired, and Nottoli was not arrested for driving under the influence. As he rifled through the belongings in the car, Ryan found a fully legal Glock 20 pistol with a Guncrafter Industries 50 GI conversion that should have been stored in the trunk of the vehicle. He also noticed Nottoli's Blackberry Curve which, after it was turned on, displayed a photograph of a mask-wearing man holding two AR-15 rifles akimbo. Such rifles could have been legally possessed if owned before California's assault weapons ban took effect. The photograph could also have been taken in another state, but Ryan took it was evidence of possible "gun-related crimes."
Sheriff Ryan later testified that Nottoli was not driving erratically, nor was he arrested for driving under the influence. But the case took a turn that has brought up major privacy concerns when Sheriff Ryan searched Nottoli’s vehicle. The Deputy found: “A fully legal Glock 20 pistol with a Guncrafter Industries 50 GI conversion that should have been stored in the trunk of the vehicle. He also noticed Nottoli’s Blackberry Curve which, after it was turned on, displayed a photograph of a mask-wearing man holding two AR-15 rifles akimbo.”
