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.

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

1. Get a frickin’ warrant. Shouldn’t be hard.
2. Unlock this phone only. Shouldn’t be hard.

Why not ask the NSA? I thought they recorded everything.

Anyway, I would think the mother-in-law has the messages he sent her.

I see this as just the same as a bank deposit box. If the cops show up to a bank with a warrant then the bank must produce the key to open the box.

What is going on is that Apple and other teck giants have said that we do not make or keep duplicate keys so we will not comply with the warrant.

We need to pass legislation to ensure that teck companies maintain the keys so that legal warrants can be excised.
