Not anymore. The police can't break encryption. Even people who are good at math have a very hard time breaking modern encryption, and the police suck at math.

i am pretty sure they have deals with phone companies
i was hanging around a drug dealer whose place got searched from snapchat
they were paying attention to me too and whenever i would leave it felt like they had my location on lock
as soon as i left the door they police would come crawling by my car nice and slow
i parked in multiple locations too and each time i would leave they drove nice and slow by me, happened at least 5 times

The phone companies can't see what is on your smartphone either.
They can see your location, and the data you send. The police can use this data too.....but that is a lot different than being able to access your files and pictures.

Because the encryption algorithms modern smart phones use are very strong - it would take a supercomputer longer to crack it than a human lifespan.
It is possible that a mistake was made in the implementation allowing backdoor access, but the government wouldn't use such a hole for just anyone. It would have to be an extremely important case, or else they would tip their hand and the flaw would get fixed.

They aren't always mistakes. A relatively well known example is the backdoor that allowed amazon to delete the book '1984' from kindle devices remotely.

The cell phone companies turn over all data they have to the police.
What they have is your location, numbers you call, texts you send or receive and any unencrypted internet traffic.
What they don't have is encrypted network traffic (which should be most of it these days), and access to your phone.

Some devices have the ability to turn on the webcam without the light and others do not.
You can tell if the light has come on if you use mildly translucent tape like the blue painters masking tape. Also allows you to easily confirm the camera is actually covered compared to black tape.

I'd cover my camera not out of fear of the law, but more for fear of accidentally turning it on and seeing myself doing an idiot bullfrogdogdoublechin face.

I rock the blue masking tape, too- as do many of my friends. I'm sure I'll be told that it was just a coincidence, but when I started covering the cameras on my iphone, I suddenly got crazy notifications from apps that had been quiet for months, as well as random notifications from apps telling me how their functionality would be improved if I would turn on my location services. It was like my phone was mad that I had blindfolded it.
