Access to repair the phone isn't the same as permission to copy and distribute. Similarly if I give a valet keys to my car it is to park it, it is not giving permission to take it out for a joyride.
It is questionable whether this would be legal if the repair tech took ownership of the phone for non-payment like was done with Hunter Biden's phone. Does ownership only apply to the hardware or to the data too?

(Soon the January 6 protesters will be held (without trial or bail) longer than Jefferson Davis was.)
