Sadly, in the US prosecutors regularly mislead the court because our adversarial system of law is seen by many to obligate them to zealously prosecute their case up to the boundary of the law. (That the prosecutor should conceal evidence, mislead, exaggerate, right up to the point where any further and their actions would be an unambiguous crime)

At the end of the day, Apple's decision to reprogram their customer's private property to snoop on their users private files and report on them creates a risk for those users. The risk may arguably be small, at least today. But it is a risk none the less.
