    Yes and no. When you take parole, you agree to give up some freedoms in exchange for getting out of prison early. For example, taking drug tests, checking in with your parole officer, or not leaving the state/country. If your crime was related to using a phone or something, like being a drug dealer, then it can make sense to have to allow your parole officer to check it.

      So after you have been convicted of a crime, you will have restrictions based on that crime. That’s a world of difference from pulling over Bob and forcing him to unlock his phone.
