FBI and Police Departments Endorse Apple's Full Device Encryption

“Apple will become the phone of choice for the pedophile,” said John J. Escalante, chief of detectives for Chicago’s police department. “The average pedophile at this point is probably thinking, I’ve got to get an Apple phone.”
Well, that didn’t take long. An even stronger endorsement. The pedophile card is pretty much the last resort for these law enforcement types who feel entitled to the content of our digital devices. Fear mongering with bogeymen and an appeal to base emotions.
Not everyone who wants privacy is a criminal… and just because there are some bad people in the world doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t entitled to privacy.
