My guess would be this is the part that kept him from getting the LTC.
Carrier doesn't own the cell phone so they can't grant access. I assume you're meaning the call records? We've got decades of history on wire taps and call records, so I doubt call history is the issue. Perhaps cloud type backup of the actual data is in question?.
Needs a conviction first though, right?
With the court order, this is where it gets interesting. How far should they be allowed to go? Require a backdoor in all cell phones, or just access to what may be stored in carrier files and logs?
Does any backdoor apply only to heinous felonies, or any and all crimes like texting while driving or walking on a sidewalk?
Just speculation on my part, but I bet they do. The same way all those internet sites can give you a "forgot your password" link.
It is a fascinating topic, but I'm afraid it boils down to, give them an inch and they'll take a mile. George Orwell was on to something.
Hopefully he comes back with a more polite tone. Opposing viewpoints are a great way to encourage the discussion.
Which is a good policy. Too bad it's easy to forget that hiding behind a keyboard sometimes.
F350-6,
1. YEP. I mean the call records that the carrier has access to.
2. NOPE. The case that was decided by the SCOTUS was about the investigation before the case went to trial.
3. Inasmuch as APPLE has agree to open the cellphone to the DPS, I suspect that all of the manufacturers could do the same with/without a court order.
4. With a court order, obviously the SCOTUS decision requires the maker of the phone to comply.
5. ImVho, I was NEITHER impolite NOR insulting UNLESS simply disagreeing with other members is insulting/impolite.
(I know that some members here believe sincerely that their OPINION is the SOLE valid opinion/point off view. - SOME have complained to "management" about such differing points of view.)
To All: I didn't need to "chill out", as I wasn't angry or upset by anything that any other member posted. - Otoh, I find it both SILLY & CHILDISH to "run to tattle" because your feelings are hurt. = I had NO idea that we evidently have some "snowflakes" on forum.
IF simply disagreeing with others is "impolite" or "insulting", I'll be banned again, as I simply won't fail to say what I think.
(FREEDOM OF SPEECH is NOT intended to protect "popular speech"; instead the Founding Fathers intended to protect "unpopular speech" & even very disagreeable, raucous and "hate speech". = This forum is large enough to be a "public accommodation" where free speech is allowed/required under FCC regulations.)
In the event that the moderators decide to ban me again, I would appreciate the simple courtesy of having time to gather the emails of friends on the forum before I leave PERMANENTLY.
(I argued with myself most of last evening about whether I would ever post to this forum again OR simply resign form membership, as I despise censorship.)
just my OPINIONS, satx
