    And my evidence is that only about 51% say that is should be unlocked and about 39% people say that they should not unlocked the phone. But the Apple company is like they should not give the software to the FBI but if they lose the case they will have to unlock the phone.

California seeks to establish a fine line between law enforcement and the protection of privacy.…

    In today’s generation cell phones are now like pocket computers that are overloaded with immense amounts of private information. The material stored in cell phones cannot be compared to other routine items, like wallets, that are usually seized during an arrest. If the arresting officer really felt the need to search the contents of the cell phone, then a “police officer can e-mail warrant request to judges […] [and] judges have signed such warrants and e-mailed them back to officers in less than 15 minutes”. Consequently, the evidence obtained from Riley’s smart phone is in violation of his Fourth Amendment…

    Mitch Albom, author of “Mitch Albom: FBI vs. Apple about more than a phone”, builds an overall effective editorial that supports the readers point of view by fighting for the protection of our phone information.

    Some have tried to claim that it was dubious as to whether it was even possible for Apple to create a piece of software that performed what the FBI was demanding. This is a much more logically consistent counter argument because one cannot do the impossible, but the counter argument can be refuted via induction. Apple could automatically update iPhones without permission (Landau 1398). Apple has automatically updated iPhones without permission in the past (Landau 1398), and so Apple could do so again to install this back door. Also, based on the research lead by Dr. Choi (an expert in computer engineering), updates to the firmware of the smart phone could be utilized to create a back door program (39).…

    Recently the National Security Agency has been under fire since Edward Snowden released information about a secret program they have been conducting with major cell phone companies. Basically this program allowed the NSA to retain certain information from phone calls made across the country.

If I support the point of view of Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, then it means that the terrorist activities will not get solved, which is threatening sign to…
