Hmm. She gave him authority to access her phone.

So he was authorized.

Strict construction of criminal law = not guilty.

Cops always over charge.

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?

He could have been charged with theft or conversion.

“I guess from your post that it would be ok for the plumber to browse through the underwear drawers and take what he desires?

He wasn’t authorized to take her data, no matter how good it is.
