Is it really the same cops though? I saw no mention of Colorado police being against users encrypting their phones. The FBI were the ones who were particularly upset that they couldn't decrypt Apple traffic[0].

- dsl 8y agoThe FBI, or sometimes the county Sheriffs office, are the ones who handle decryption of phones for local police departments. There are over 17,000 police departments in the United States, it's not reasonable for them to all have these capabilities on site. Edit: The FBI actually has walk up kiosks (in a secure area) with Cellebrite for do-it-yourself forensics.
