Alec Baldwin, who has yet to turn over his cellphone to law enforcement in connection with the law enforcement investigation into the fatal shooting on the set of the movie “Rust, may be …

, may be holding onto the device for a number of reasons, legal experts told The Post on Friday.

“If he deleted text messages or call records then he would face the possibility of criminal contempt,” said Kearon, who works at the Long Island firm Barket Epstein Kearon. “Or if there are personal messages, for example, between he and his wife, it’s not shocking that he wouldn’t want them in the public domain.”

“It’s not consistent with his pledge early on to cooperate with law enforcement,” he said. “It certainly looks suspicious to the average person.” The actor may believe that handing over his “whole phone” is “over-broad,” and should be narrowed to only text messages and calls related to the case, said Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney Louis Shapiro.

“They’ll be looking for [texts saying] ‘Oh my god, I didn’t check the gun’ or ‘I hired someone who’s not competent’ — anything that’s incriminating or that could shed more light and give more context. Or anything that could show the culpability of other people,” he said.“Keep in mind, he gave an interview [to law enforcement]. You have to assume he and his lawyers knew what was on that phone so it wouldn’t be contradicted,” he said.

So many dumb comments. He’s not at fault for the death. If he hands over the phone it’s contents will be on TMZ within 24 hours.

Alec Baldwin is a murderer.

He said “get a warrant”, they did. Now, a MONTH later he still hasn’t handed over the phone? This shooting is looking increasingly suspicious.

What is going on? If this was any of us our phone would have already been taken!

Warrants mean nothing to the wealthy. If he were a poor person his door would have been kicked in and domicile ransacked while he watched in cuffs. 🧐

Because he IS the reason it happened and may have conspired for it to happen. It's obvious he's responsible and in hot water. He doesn't want to burn himself anymore and knows the phone will only show how much more involved he was in it. As well as possible affairs he has.

We all know why.... He is lying. He is lying. He is guilty. He is guilty. Fixed it for ya.

So stupid .. all he can say is that he lost it
