The county changed the password when they confiscated the phone. The idiot cannot remember what he changed it to. This is an effort to get into everyone’s phone
Close enough for government work! Yes its an LA county owned iphone and the county effed up Ifone access and icloud access on the dead terrorsists phone
Perhaps. But the Constitution is quite clear. Reasonable searches are allowed. This is a reasonable search. Apple is saying they are above the law, and don’t have to comply when they are the manufacturer of the device and are intentionally firewalling data on criminally confiscated devices.
What all phone manufacturers need is to provide a service where they receive the device and retrieve the data at their facilities. Then return the unlocked phone back to the government after the DOJ pays the restoration fee. Problem solved and everyone is happy.
“The county changed the password when they confiscated the phone. The idiot cannot remember what he changed it to. “
What kind of sloppy chain of custody is that? How was this phone not immediately placed into evidence? Good thing the cops killed these two dumbasses.
