If this is "consensual" encounters, why are people agreeing to be searched. Fuck the DEA, but these people are also fucking morons. First and foremost, when traveling into a space like this, your pin should be disabled on your phone. If any of these shit stains roll up talking to you, start recording so you can capture the illegal search if they ask, you refuse, and they steal your shit anyway.
Edit: I meant pin enabled, bio disabled.
