"In China, once a suspect is targeted, police can freeze bank accounts and compel companies to hand over records of his communications."
Can we expect them to strongarm companies like Apple that offer secure communications channels, such as imessage? It will be interesting to watch how Apple navigates those waters.

The weird NY Times comment and its retraction that Snowden commented on is relevant here. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/700073024373047297 https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/700073024373047297 Edit: Thinking more, where in the world is does police targeting not cause problems. Here in New Zealand there have been several recent cases of massive overreach that resulted in no charges or just a huge clustersf*&k. Dotcom, the Nicky Sagar searches etc. There are recent cases in the US and UK that come to mind fast too, often with reporters being targeted.
