481 Words2 Pages

Lawsuit against Apple? “Basic American rights were at stake, and the purpose of law is to protect people’s rights”. (Tribune news service) There was a large shooting in San Bernardino, California. The FBI wanted to hack into the shooters phone but could not without the company Apple's help. Although, Apple refused later on. Many people died in this incident and the FBI should know every aspect of what happened, because it was a very important favor to the FBI that would have helped and saved time. The FBI asking for help from Apple was shut down, and they had to hack into the phone alone. The FBI filed a lawsuit against Apple for not helping with their important investigation by hacking …show more content…

The FBI dropped the lawsuit because they were able to hack into the phone alone without Apple’s help. Even though the lawsuit was dropped, both of the companies are still not over the fact that the favor was not made. This problem will most likely come up again in the future, and will hopefully later be resolved. The fourth amendment completely protects Apple’s decision of not participating in the Shooter investigation. The fourth Amendment says that there only shall valid warrants to search others personal possessions. The FBI did have a valid warrant but it does not state that third parties such as a technology company like Apple have to participate.It states that people have a right to secure their own possessions and keep them, unless there is a valid warrant and a specific reason to search through your possessions. Forcing Apple to help would violate the rights of the company. Apple is protected by the Fourth Amendment and could not be forced by the Fbi to help in any way. Although, if they did choose to help the FBI that would also not go against the amendment. As previously stated, the company Apple, helping the Federal bureau of Investigation

  • Summary Of FBI V. Apple Is Really About Edward Snowden

    743 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article “FBI v. Apple Is Really About Edward Snowden” by Ted Rall, Rall speaks about the recent conflict between the U.S. government and the electronics company Apple. He first summarizes the recent conflict, in which Apple has refused to give the FBI the code to unlock the phone of Syed Farook, the head of the San Bernardino mass shooting. The reason behind Apple not releasing the code, says Rall, is that with this code the iPhones of many other people can also be accessed, not just the one needed. Yet here in this article Rall is saying that this is much different due to one man, and that is Edward Snowden. Rall states how a few years ago, Americans would have undeniably been against what Apple is currently refusing to do,

    Protection against warrantless search and seizures is another protection the 4th Amendment provides. The government must get a warrant or court order from a federal judge before they can see who someone called, see how long the call was, and listen to the call. Apple is at war with the government because Apple encrypts everything on there phones, so no one else can see your personal information. There are reports written for public viewing when they are caught doing illegal and unconstitutional spying. The 4th Amendment also protects against destruction of personal property during a warrantless

    Cell phones and other mobile devices have quickly entered the mass market and are available to most people around the world. These devices are so prevalent that it is now considered rare to make an arrest without encountering them as some form of evidence, primarily because of the amount of data that they contain. The 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution includes the right of citizens to be protected against unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant issued upon probable cause, but whether or not such searches and seizures of the digital content contained in these devices is included in this fundamental protection is an issue that has been under much scrutiny over the past few decades. In order to decide whether it is,

  • Why The Fourth Amendment Requires A Probable Cause For Arrest

    164 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Fourth Amendment requires a probable cause for arrest. Substantially, particular things are needed to legally conduct a search or seizure. This incorporates arrest, so a search, a seizure, or an arrest cannot take place without reason. Not to mention, there must be a "court order" for Apple to give the government "customer data." So, since a “court order” must be in place for Apple to give the government “customer data,” that “court order” would have to also take place for an arrest that could conceivably follow.

As seen in the Salinas case refusal to do so may preemptively determine the defendant guilty for choosing to protect their privacy. As companies like Apple and Google push to make our communications more secure to cater toward their clientele.

  • What Are The Arguments Against The 4th Amendment

    299 Words  | 2 Pages

    Apple is trying to protect the American people that own any apple product from the FBI. The FBI wants apple to unlock the phone from the San Bernardino 's but Apple is not doing it because it is against the 4th amendment. Since the FBI can’t get into it because Apple can not give permission to the FBI, also they don’t have any reason to look at the phone so Apple did not allow tat to happen. My opinion on this matter is that apple is doing the right thing, if the government was able to get a hold of all the information that a single person had on their phone, I am pretty sure people would be embarrassed because of all the personal information on their phones. If Apple gave them the right to look through their phone than the 4th amendment would be compromised and then that can start an up riot.
