Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr.: “Since Apple changed its operating system in the Fall of 2014, to re-engineer it so that phones could not be accessed even with a valid warrant, there’ve been 175 cases in our office – using the new operating system that we are not able to get in – to look at phones which need to be analyzed to build criminal cases, and indeed to make sure that we’re prosecuting the right person.”
“Those cases range from homicide to sex abuse, sex trafficking to cyber crime. So at the state and local level, where 95% of the cases in the country are handled, our inability to access data on cell phones, which are being used by criminals to communicate and to store data, is a real problem.”
“The San Bernardino case presents one example of a case involving terrorism, where federal government believes that critical evidence may be on that phone. There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of other cases around the country in investigations relating to homicide, sex abuse, where data is going to be on smartphones, and prosecutors, police officers need to access – with a court order – in order to do the right thing and get the right result in each of those cases.”
