Maybe those like @orinkerr can opine, but it seems like these days they always have a probable cause for a search warrant to search your phone. Am I right in thinking that if you are involved in such a case they'll always grab your phone?

I can't find the search warrant. The NYTimes quotes it thusly. It seems this justification could apply to virtually ever case they investigate.

Presumably, Alec Baldwin has good reason for not handing over the phone, knowing that any texts or emails may be used out-of-context and prejudicially against him.
Presumably, they already got all his SMS messages by asking the phone company, for which they don't need a warrant.
Presumably, if Alec Baldwin deletes an incriminating text message, not know they already have a copy of it, that this'll get him in trouble for obstruction.
