Police Can Get Access to Your Cellphone Data Even After the Supreme Court Ruling

The two ways mentioned in the article for how they can still do it are:

1) Ask the telco nicely.

2) MITM with things like stingray.

#1 can be solved by telcos starting to say no, which might be easier to do now that you can blame it on economic fallout (e.g. Verizon losing the Germany contract). #2 will likely be solved by a successful court challenge by the ACLU.

Not hopeless, in my opinion.

How do either of those get the data stored on the phone?

Presumably, they would sniff traffic coming from your phone, which is what the article is talking about.
