I think the FBI already acknowledged very early on that they didn't expect to find anything useful on the phone for these very reasons.

I think the FBI already acknowledged very early on that they didn't expect to find anything useful on the phone for these very reasons.
- richmarr 11y agoI imagine there's a Venn diagram of overlap between what a nutjob thinks is worth hiding and what would be of interest to law enforcement organisations. For example I doubt many of these extremists would both trying to hide information that could be used for psychological profiling of future attackers
- jacquesm 11y agoThe psychological profiling of future attackers has nothing to do with getting away with this push to access that particular phone. That's simply not even on the radar at this point, the FBI would be laughed out of any court they went to if they presented that as the reason why they want access. Their fig-leaf is that the phone may contain valuable information regarding this particular crime.
