Police appeared to be examining one man's mobile phone, scrolling through and reading text messages he had received or sent.

Um, can a police actually do that? Taking your mobile and then reading your sms??

Well, in that case, they have reasonable grounds to do so, so I don't see anything wrong with it.

The police will tell you why they are looking through your mobile. I'd just let them do it even though I don't think it was reasonable. I'd just make a police complaint afterwards.
