CrunchCrime: Man Busted for Pot Pics on Mobile

Cameras on cellphones are as common as Herpes on a Hilton, and are generally used for home made porn capturing precious moments digitally. That being said, you’ll want to be careful what you keep pics of on there.
In Vermont, a young man lost his cellphone. It was found and returned to the police, which was very a very nice thing to do. When the owner of the phone, Peter Ste. Marie, swung by the station to pick it up, he was arrested on charges of cultivating marijuana.
Peter, you see, had taken pics of his grow operation with the phone. He left them on there and lost the phone. Oops. The cops tracked him down and arrested him.
There’s a moral to this story, readers. Figure it out.

Is the moral that cops didn’t really have a reason to browse the media on his phone? I mean, sure, they might need to go through a contact list, but on ALL phones that I have messed with the contacts and the pictures are two very different things. I suppose he could have had a background image of the plants, but then the guy is just stupid.
