Tunick provided this code to an agent, who entered it on the phone, after which “the screen went blank, flashed several times and the phone appeared to restart.” All data on the phone was gone, but authorities confiscated it anyway.
They should be required to prove that such an OS was installed on the phone, that such a duress code was configured, and that it was the one provided, otherwise that was clearly a glitch in the phone, a cosmic ray bit flip, or the agent fumbling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can’t be responsible when it left his custody, right?
Yeah, they must have entered the wrong one
So far I haven’t seen anyone comment on the argument that he clearly didn’t destroy anything. He provided a code to other people who entered it and destroyed the system.
It’s a technicality, but this happened in America and God are they big on technicalitiesIsn’t that the exact point of the feature? The police are getting upset that people used a feature of an OS for its intended purpose??
