But they'd still be able to do that given a warrant? Or is this unwarrantable protection, for lack of a better word?

- chaz72 12y agoNope. They could use a warrant to compel the sender or the recipient of the messages to unlock them or face jail time. But Apple doesn't have the keys.
- netcraft 12y agowouldn't the 5th amendment protect against that?
- chaz72 12y agoer - possibly, I'm not a lawyer. I read it somewhere on the internet and it sounded credible at the time.
- smtddr 12y agoI think the most important thing here is that law enforcement must approach the individual. What happens next may end up a complicate web of legal acrobatics, but the individual at least knows the law is after them. That's a good thing, IMHO. If your privacy is being violated by police forcing you to open your phone to them... at least you know the "when", "how" and "what" info they're getting. I'm also pretty sure you'd at least have a strong suspicion on the "why" it's happening to you as well - fair or otherwise.
