You might have recently heard or read on the news about what is going on between Apple and the FBI. If not I will try to explain it as best I can. So a while ago there were two terrorist in San Bernardino, California. They attacked a center that helped developmentally disabled people, after this they were on the run for about four hours before police found them and killed them in a shootout. So with both of them dead police had very little to go on to figure out why they would do what they did. They eventually found some evidence at their home, one of which was an iPhone that belonged to one of the terrorists. So to make a long story short, the FBI wants Apple to create a software that will let them see what is on the phone and Apple refuses to create it. I am going to write an essay on a claim of value because I personally agree with what Apple doing. …show more content…

So when police and the FBI obtained the phone they tried to unlock it but couldn’t do to the security feature on the phone which erases all memory on the phone after the password is entered in wrong a certain number of times. So when they got close to this happening they, the FBI, asked Apple to try and create a software that they could upload into the iPhone that would unlock it so that they could see if there was any information on the phone as to why they attacked. So essentially they would create a “backdoor” which would allow law enforcement to unlock any iPhone that they wanted. Now to some this might sound like a good idea and something that Apple would be happy to do because it would help to solve why this tragedy occurred, but Apple refused and said that this would be

The FBI collected McVeigh’s clothes and sent them to

Billy is on the phone with Bob while they are talking on the phone and someone coughs and it is neither of them. Well, the government are the only ones who can hack phones and listen to phone calls, the 4th amendment has allowed this to happen. The 4th amendment has gavin the right to law enforcement to be cruel and unfair about a search and seizure. Without a warrant you cannot search a person, well not anymore, the government can search anyone at any time in some scenarios. Normally, there is an abundant amount of evidence used to be given the permission to search one’s belongings, but since 9/11 law enforcement needs little evidence to be provided a search warrant.

An officer could physically search the cell phone and it 's case for weapons, such as a razor blade. The State countered that the suspect 's cell phone could be used to call associates to aid him, which would affect officer safety. Allowing the officer to search the cell phone without a warrant might give him/her warning that someone is coming. On the point of protecting evidence from concealment or destruction, Riley argued that once a cell phone has been seized, there is no need for the officer to search the digital contents to protect it. The State countered, saying that the data on a cell phone, when in custody of police, is subject to

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.

I fear due to the recent rulings on the Patriot Act and NSA may allow people who utilize Apple’s newest feature may find that they may face a subpoena to open their phones and consequently have them used against them. 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. It will be interesting to see how the fifth amendment will apply in a digital age and to see what measures will be taken to protect or limit our

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.

The whole point of the Fourth Amendment is not to completely stop the police, because the amendment can be waived if an officer has a warrant, or a person’s consent. The Fourth Amendment states that generally a search or seizure is illegal unless there is a warrant, or special circumstances. Technically stating that a citizen is protected by the Fourth Amendment, until a government employee gets a warrant, and then they can invade a citizen’s privacy. Also people state that the FISA Court’s warrants are constitutional, but the NSA’s surveillance is unconstitutional. Even though people do not like the NSA’s surveillance, the NSA is legal because the FISA Court that the people did not mind makes it legal.

In this essay I am going to explain my opinion on the fight against Isis and America’s involvement in the attacks. I believe that America is doing the right thing by getting involved and trying to stop Isis from attacking America and all of the other countries, somebody has to do something to try and stop the reign of terror. One of the three articles that I read was “To defeat Isis, it must be an American fight”. In the article it states that “It is an American fight, one that will not succeed without American leadership” which I believe is true the president we have right now are not doing a very good job leading America, he believes that letting the refugees is helping them, which it is but he is also letting in the bad guys with the
