The many cops I know are motivated by the desire to catch criminals and to uphold our laws and they don't have the time or the desire to be looking at your photos and phone history.

I have no problem with people going through my phone.
I also don't have a problem with this approach. If you really need to text/talk on the phone, then take the risk.
I will say, and someone else mentioned it, enforcement of the talking and driving "hands free" law seems to have relaxed.
