Siri has a habit of hashing up what I dictate. I meant to say “but the court doesn’t have a right under the law to do so.”
I'm kinda gonna have to side with the FEDERAL JUDGE on this one.
The Terrorists who had the phone are dead, (therefore no privacy rights) and the phone is actually the property of the San Bernadino County. The phone potentially contains evidence of accomplices or potential future targets or attacks, and all threats to Apple's product line or other people's privacy can be prevented.
I think this current publicity stunt by Apple management is for the purpose of marketing their phones as "unbreakable" and his objections have more to do with Apple's profitability in marketing unbreakable phones than it does with any other consideration.
