Questions presented

Is a warrant to search a cell phone overbroad, in violation of the Fourth Amendment, if it authorizes the search of evidence on the phone in addition to the evidence for which there is probable cause?
Does the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule invariably salvage the search of a cell phone that is conducted pursuant to a warrant that is supported by probable cause?
