To be fair, while it looks ridiculous that so much effort is spent trying to break into phones in criminal cases, given how much of our lives are conducted through them they are sources ripe with intelligence-- i.e. we can hope to find out who a terrorist received support from, where a school shooter obtained their guns, etc.
Sometimes it doesn't pan out, but such is the nature of criminal investigations.
- vuln 9y agoWhy would a terrorist destroy their personal devices yet leave their work phones intact? What kind of criminal would use a work device to commit any sort of crime? I'm sure the work iPhone was managed by a MDM. The US spent millions and even tried to force a company to write a backdoor. They tried to set a precedent, they knew there was nothing on the phone. It wasn't about the phone it was about using fear to get American citizens to sign over more rights.
