The HN title matches the article title, but it's somewhat misleading. The court actually ruled that the particular case before it was not a legal search, and that cellphone searches are only allowed under specific circumstances.
It looks to me as though the circumstances are a bit too broad, but it's not as though Canadian police will suddenly be allowed to search the cellphones of everyone they arrest.
