Apple said Wednesday night that it is making it impossible for the company to turn over data from most iPhones or iPads to police — even when they have a search warrant — taking a hard new line as tech companies attempt to blunt allegations that they have too readily participated in government efforts to collect user information. The move, announced with the publication of a new privacy policy tied to the release of Apple’s latest mobile operating system, iOS 8, amounts to an engineering solution to a legal quandary: Rather than comply with binding court orders, Apple has reworked its latest encryption in a way that prevents the company — or anyone but the device’s owner — from gaining access to the vast troves of user data typically stored on smartphones or tablet computers. The key is the encryption that Apple mobile devices automatically put in place when a user selects a passcode, making it difficult for anyone who lacks that passcode to access the information within, including photos, e-mails and recordings. Apple once maintained the ability to unlock some content on devices for legally binding police requests but will no longer do so for iOS 8, it said in the new privacy policy. “Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data,” Apple said on its Web site. “So it’s not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.” View Quote www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/apple-will-no-longer-unlock-most-iphones-ipads-for-police-even-with-search-warrants/2014/09/17/2612af58-3ed2-11e4-b03f-de718edeb92f_story.html |

so this means they will just throw us in the pokey until we give up the password?

Not a bad thing overall. More agencies will develop their own entry capability in house and have their own techs. This will be good justification for more funding and more employees along with a higher level of capability to manipulate the device in house.

Good luck on the warrants front.
As I was instructed, a warrant can span from "you may do XYZ" to "the Court orders XYZ be done." Willful obstruction of a court order probably won't go over so hot, if it comes to refusing-warrants time. |

Hopefully phones will not be configured like that out of the box as that is just as bad as having the password subpoenable. |

Apple won't even help out customers of their product.
We recovered hundreds of stolen cell phones. Not all could we obtain the serial number to have Apple contact the owner. We asked Apple to retrieve the serial number from the phone and contact the owner. We would never receive any information about the phone or the owner, unless the owner contacted us. Apple would just pass along our information to the Apple account holder and tell them we are in possession of their phone. Apple refused to help. I am sure there is a backdoor into the programming of IOS 8. If not, IOS 8.1 will have it |

What it does it remove the government's ability to force Apple to reveal personal data stored and encrypted on its customer's devices, BIG, BIG difference. |
