And here all this time I thought a "search warrant" was a fetter. I know the British used this thing called "Writs of Assistance",
But when American law took over the requirement of a "warrant" was regarded as "fetter" on abusive government.
Are you now telling me the requirement of a "warrant" is not a restraint on government abuse?
When did this happen?
Since when does a search warrant give the government the power to order a third-party to create a new product, whether at their own expense or at the government’s expense, to aid the government in executing the search warrant? And you keep bringing up the issue of the search warrant, but Apple is not subject to the search warrant and it is not at issue in this case. The FBI is trying to use a law called the All Writs Warrant to try to force Apple to do this work. That is the type of government power I cam concerned with - the ability of government to force you to create something for them that does not exist, simply because they think it MAY help them.
