Hang on a minute, does this even seem legal to you? This adds new meaning to a "shared data plan." ;)

A newly publicized document shows that five local police departments in southeastern Virginia have been secretly and automatically sharing criminal suspects’ telephone metadata and compiling it into a large database for nearly two years.

Well, in the past, police made a file on suspects and they shared that, so this is nothing new. Only the medium and the convenience of storing this data has changed.
 
according to title virginia 2.2 ch 38 section 3806, they are not allowed to share the data from any agencies in that state without notification of the person whose data it is and advising them on any possible ramifications.

so, no, as it pertains to virginia, it is not legal and i would imagine that any data used in legal proceedings would be tossed as inadmissable if there was no specific warrant to collect the data to begin with

pfft... like any agency would even consider that rules like this would apply to them... hahaha... wtf am i thinking....

Unless the phone and it's content were taken by a search warrant authorizing access to the contents, and said contents become part of the public records of a criminal prosecution .... no, they can't just download your phone while they are holding you and CC: all the other cops on earth the contents.

Read the 4th Amendment, all this shit is ...

If they want to pop your ass for ANYTHING, then you're suspect and they won't stop digging until they find something, no matter how small, obscure, or insignificant.

One of the driving forces behind the American Revolution, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, was revulsion against “general warrants,” which “allowed British officers to rummage through homes in an unrestrained search for evidence of criminal activity.”
