The FBI doesn't need to crack iphones, Apple has always secretly provided them with backdoor access. They just lie about it so their customers don't know what they're doing and think that their phones are secure from law enforcement.
You think Apple will refuse to give the keys to Biden's team? I would not be suprised if there wasn't a law requiring there to be a backdoor.
I respect Apple's stance on privacy, and suspect their devices are better than 99% of Android devices, but I don't expect that feds couldn't get in if they had Apple's support.
I'm guessing that ship has sailed long ago.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean for James?
If they were able to get into his phone, which I assume they did, then the data is already in hands who will use it to harm people.
Pretty sure FBI has the keys to every phone at this point. O'Keefe is about to get super serious about digital security.
How do you ‘legally’ inject/make public/use as evidence?
Chain of Custody
Sometimes 'intrusions' have a way of safeguarding people & evidence.
Sometimes 'intrusions' are a necessary event in order to safeguard chain of custody [post OIG WB status + doc handover protocols].
So this is a way to inject off the record information into legal record? I could see that.
