NY Judge Rules That Government Can't Force Apple To Unlock iPhone

• trueactivist.com

In an interesting turn of events, a US magistrate judge in New York has ruled on a case involving Apple and the government and determined that the All Writ's Act does not require that Apple comply with the US government.

The case that the judge ruled on was over a drug trafficking charge in which DEA agents discovered an iPhone 5S with a passcode that they wanted to override. The current and commonly known case of Apple fighting the government over encryption is regarding the San Bernardino shooting, where the FBI's defense has been that decryption would greatly benefit national security. In this case with Jun Feng, the suspect charged with conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine, there is no mention of national security, yet the government is still demanding that Apple help them break down their phone's security.
