Annnnnd there it is. Tim Cook was right.
Anything THIS Justice Department seeks to do, I’m opposed to....I do not trust Satan....

I guess Lincoln DIDN’T free the slaves after all!
I am with your guy on this one. Apple needs to fight tooth and nail up to SCOTUS if need be.
The line forms on the LEFT!
So...the San Bern shooters were captured in bona-fides VIDEO yet the prosecutions case is not strong enough to obtain a verdict?
Whoot Da Fook?
In five years the world will be awash in encryption the FBI can’t break, provided by parties beyond the reach of the US Government.
This case is pointless.
I'm not sure who they are prosecuting, since they generally don't try to prosecute dead people.
Surprise, surprise.
Broken clock.
(-:
Right about what? That in criminal cases with search warrants, Apple would be instructed to open phones?
Not much of a prediction that.
Forming on the LEFT is a fairly appropriate way to put it. People who don't believe in the rule of law are generally leftists.
And, it’s not really an “Apple” issue in the bigger picture...applies to any OS or phone provider.
not likely
4th amendment
plus
13th amendment
plus 5th and 14th amendments
and Apple has the resources (and business purpose) to refuse
Good point.
I wonder how ordering Apple to break the encryption on this phone is any different than ordering a locksmith to crack a 3rd party's safe. I mean forcing someone at gunpoint to use his skills, knowledge, and time to do the bidding of others sounds a lot like slavery to me.
Obama is behind this. Spy on all the Democrat enemies; tape them illegally, plant false information on their devices, steal their money from bank accounts, check their health accounts - on and on. This has to be stopped.
Today - Oh, did we say just one phone? We meant about 12.
Tomorrow - Oh did we say about 12 phones? We meant about 12 million phones.
I suppose it depends on if the state really doesn’t have a way to do it. If they really did, and Apple refuses to help, it seems to me this would be a good way to convince bad guys to trust using these phones more. If they really didn’t, and they win this and somehow force Apple to help, seems like it becomes less useful as an intelligence/law enforcement tool as the bad dudes would just use their phones less frequently, knowing for sure that they can be broken.
