ExiledInIllinois Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 No one is saying the FBI doesn't have a right (with a warrant of course, which they have) to search the contents of the suspects' phones. They (allegedly) committed a crime, if there's information on their phone that could lead or aid in the investigation then the FBI should have access to it. I'm saying the FBI, nor any element of the Federal or State government, has a right to my, or any law abiding citizens', phone records/emails/metadata/et. al. without a warrant. Michael Hayden has recently been making the media rounds and siding with Apple. On Maher last night (yah, I know) he pointed out that as head of NSA when he knew someone had put a door into an encryption system it made his job easier. His response whenever that happened was "thank you lord and there's a lot of security services around the world that think the same way". End to end encryption makes us all safer in his mind. It's hard to see it any other way if you care at all about protecting privacy. I'm not saying everything is black and white either, but in this case it is. They have the phone, they have a warrant, and they have the means to view the contents of it using their own abilities. But they don't want to get into the phone. Not really. They want the precedent. That's why it's !@#$ed up. Regardless of where you stand politically, it's an blatant power grab by the federal government if you look at it without being blinded by the "war on terror" hysteria it's been intentionally camouflaged in.

DC Tom Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Different case, different jurisdiction, same issue, Apple wins. Largely on the argument that the "All Writs Act" isn't license for the government to demand whatever the !@#$ it wants. http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/29/ny-judge-rules-in-favor-of-apple-in-government-request-for-iphone-data/
