Does turning off a cell phone prevent the ability of cops to sniff the information out of it?

It is now well known that police officers can scan and extract cell phone information if they are nearby the cell phone they are targeting. So If i am pulled over, can I prevent this extraction from occurring by turning off my cell phone?

I know police can always ask for or demand the cell phone and look thru it, but let’s not waste time on that tangent.
