U.S. demands Apple unlock phone in drug case

Published April 10, 2016 This content is archived.

An article in USA Today about efforts by the Department of Justice to continue its legal fight to force Apple to assist it in unlocking an iPhone linked to a drug conspiracy case in New York City quotes Mark Bartholomew, professor of law. “There will be cases all the time in which information may or may not be on an iPhone, and there is no precedent here,” he said. “What I think may happen is Congress will weigh in. Pressure and attention has kicked up, and Congress is in the best position to weigh the balance on privacy and security and maybe construct something more fine-tuned than a court-by-court basis.” Articles also appeared on Bangkok Post, KHOU-TV in Houston, WCNC-TV in Charlotte and WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C.
