Can the police search your cell phone?

If they have a reason to, yes. The moment you are arrested, everything you have on your possession is confiscated by the police. They have the legal authority to examine these objects for criminal evidence. If it is believed that a phone is used for illegal activity, it will be passed onto a forensic technician who can pull up every single call, text and image on the phone - even if you've deleted it. If there is no reason to search your phone, they won't. Another reason they will go down your phone is if you fail to provide the police with a next of kin contact number to update them on your arrest. By being arrested you forfeit your personal property to the police for the duration of your arrest, or longer if a warrant is acquired.
