I live in Sweden, and the prime minister just went public with plans to increase surveillance and give the police extended rights to "surpass encryption", ie hack phones. I do think the police should have the ability to, after a court ruling, to hack a phone, but the whole increased surveillance is just crazy. The terrorists attack our society for what it is, and the response is not to stand tall, but to change?

> I do think the police should have the ability to, after a court ruling, to hack a phone How do you think the smartphone would be secured against unlawful hacking? How would it discriminate against lawful vs. unlawful attempts? Phones should be unhackable to anybody, and any loophole should be treated as what it is in fact: an error that should be fixed. Or maybe you meant that police should have computer security hacking forces, that is, personnel trained in breaking computer protection. In this case it would be OK.

He did say it would only occur after a court order. But still it makes me uneasy, how will they put the trojan (he specifically said trojans) in suspects computers/phones?
