> 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.
