Liberty Safe Responds to Backlash as Anger Grows Over Giving FBI Code

• https://www.newsweek.com BY ELLIE COOK

Liberty Safe customers will be able to fill out a form to have records of their safe access codes deleted, meaning they can "take control of how their information is stored and protected," the manufacturer said in a statement on Wednesday evening.

Earlier on Wednesday, Liberty Safe had said the FBI requested the access code to a safe on August 30, which it gave after seeing proof of a warrant. The safe belongs to 34-year-old Nathan Hughes, who has been charged with felony civil disorder and several misdemeanors relating to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021."Our company's protocol is to provide access codes to law enforcement if a warrant grants them access to a property," Liberty Safe said on Tuesday evening. "After receiving the request, we received proof of the valid warrant, and only then did we provide them with an access code."
