INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled a suburban Indianapolis woman who was held in contempt of court when she refused to unlock her smartphone for police investigators is protected by the U.S. Constitution's right against self-incrimination.

The Indianapolis Star reports the court on Tuesday reversed the contempt order against 29-year-old Katelin Seo of Carmel, determining that forcing her to unlock her iPhone for police would violate the Fifth Amendment.

The court says that "by unlocking her smartphone, Seo would provide law enforcement with information it does not already know, which the State could then use in its prosecution against her."
