Question for cops

I just realized my last post made no sense. Here is the basic question I have.

I work for a small company (6 employees) and my boss says that in the near future he is going to put us on E-Logs in anticipation of the mandate coming down. He has decided upon a system that uses an app on our smart phones coupled via Bluetooth to a box containing GPS that plugs into the truck's data port to read the necessary engine data to make it compliant with the mandate. At a roadside inspection the app can fax or email.logs, or the officer can examine them on my phone with the app in "Inspection Mode"

My question is: What protection does a driver have against an unscrupulous officer "accidentally" hitting a wrong button or two and suddenly viewing his text messages and discovering that he may haven sent a text or two while the truck was in motion and writing a ticket for that offense? Not that I would ever do such a thing.
