At a press conference today, an FBI official investigating the man who killed 26 people in a Texas church on Sunday said the agency can't open the shooter's encrypted phone. The agent painted the issue as a growing concern among law enforcement at all levels who can't access data on devices without their owner's credentials. It's essentially the same argument the FBI made two years ago when it demanded Apple help break into the phone of the San Bernardino shooter, a conflict that escalated into the courtroom.

That is the exact reason the sheriff stated they will not reveal the phone’s name/model.

Another reason not to use fingerprint unlock system.

I guess FBI will have to put up a fight with the phone manufacturer to unlock everything. It took a while, but I think that finally happened with the husband-wife Muslim murderers in the Pacific northwest.
I can’t imagine that the manufacturer would deny helping in this instance.

And the exact reason I want to know.
No warrant, no access.

I have a hard time believing the FBI can’t break into a suspect’s cellphone.

I can’t imagine that the manufacturer would deny helping in this instance. I can IF there is no warrant OR they are asking for the manufacturer to develop a master key to every phone the manufacturer makes rather than the unlocking of this individual phone.

Bull. If a white supremacist shot up a black church, the phone would be cracked in seconds.
To: detective
First, know that they are lying.
They could send it over to the NSA and have it cracked in 5mins. It’s called inter-agency cooperation.
They just want a law that makes encryption illegal unless LEO has the key.
On file, in escrow.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for LEO to overreach thinking the public will support it.

Probably a recent model iPhone. Say what you will about Apple, they seem to have a real commitment to privacy for their clients/users.

I heard on a talk radio show that it is an iPhone.
