Murder, you are down with that? Call me stupid all day but that is what we are dealing with here. There is no question multiple crimes have been committed, or do you deny that?
Much more than probable cause here, the police need to access the phone to see who the murderers were in contact with and Cook is resisting, if it were you or me we would be locked up, but we are not billionaires, or maybe you are.
Lives are at stake and yet you support the terrorists, why?
What don’t you understand about probable cause? The right to privacy is not unlimited.
Wrong, wrong, wrong again. Why don't you listen to saner minds like ours?
The police had their shot at accessing the phone, and blew it. They had asked for Apple's help and advice. When Apple gave advice, the "authorities" ignored it and changed the I.D., thereby locking it up forever. They delivered a lawful request to Apple for access to the data in iCloud, and Apple complied fully and delivered what they had. Beyond that, there is no probable cause to make Apple deliver something they do not possess. The feds cannot force Apple to create something that does not exist, akin to a shredder manufacturer being forced to make a device to "unshred" documents (thanks to Swordmaker for the excellent analogy, suitable for children to comprehend).
