At best, I have mixed thoughts on this.
I don’t want government to be able to throw out BS suspicions and get access directly from the provider.
And I don’t want Islamonazis to get a free ride.
So I say GET A WARRANT, and if you get it, use the full force of the Federal government to compel the provider to break the code or spend the rest of their lives in prison.
But if I had to choose between the Islamonazis getting a free ride, or the DOJ + everyone connected to them getting a free ride, the Islamonazis win every time.
His call records are fully available from his carrier. His WhatsApp is fully available from Facebook. Everything he ever sent and every person he called was captured by the NSA.
Barr is just trying to attack apple privacy.
Funny how he hasn’t gotten around to Hillary, Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Steele, etc. Whatsamatta? He don’t need into their Iphones? LOL
Weird, they already sent the pilots back. Now, they need apple to unlock the phone to see if there was any terrorist connections, even though they have already cleared the shooter of having any connections.
A warrant can't compel a third party to conduct a search. The warrant allows the GOVERNMENT to do the search but they have to do it themselves.
This is strike three for Barr as far as I'm concerned. He's a deep state hack, same as Sessions.
Please inform us how apple can “break the code” in detail - if you will?
