Lots of words here to obfuscate a simple fact - Apple is ignoring a court order which they will find out is never a good idea. Give LE what they need. There is no doubt whatsoever a crime has been committed, get real.
Sorry, the government has destroyed any trust that the people had left in it.
It seems to me that in both cases that even if the FBI had the legal authority to do so, it would have to pay for the technology to be developed and also pay for the damage to the company's commercial reputation incumbent upon defeating its own technology, i.e., several billion dollars in Apple's case.
Not so simple.
Apple is being ordered to turn over something that does not exist!
The are obviously not ignoring it, they are fighting it. A court order with the same tech. issue and the exact same legal argument (AWA) was just overturned in another case.
The author quickly conflates Judicial courts with Executive agencies...
It’s very silly.
You're wrong. There is a doubt. While the iPhone was in the FBI's hands, they had full access to it and changed the I.D., thereby covering up whatever information they had accessed. The FBI may or may not already know what data is in the phone, so there is a doubt as to any crime. Going after Apple is nothing more than a scam perpetuated by the FBI on the public.
The original order gave Apple time to respond if they believed compliance would be unreasonably burdensome. That is exactly what Apple did.

Sure you’re on the right website Kenny? FR stands for the rule of law, not the rule of government expediency. You might be more comfortable over at DU.
Fine. Be the first to step up and surrender access your SSN, bank access codes, credit card security, etc. to our dictatorial government.
But keep this in mind: courts have ZERO RIGHT to dictate and enact law.
