OFF THE WIRE
You may have heard about the Cellebrite cell phone extraction device (UFED) in the news lately. It gives law enforcement officials the ability to access all the information on your cell phone within a few short minutes. When it became known that Michigan State Police had been using the tool to access cell phones during traffic stops, it raised concern with the ACLU. Now, everyone is wondering if cops will be using devices like this elsewhere. Will this new law enforcement tool be abused, or will it be used responsibly in the pursuit of justice?
Call us paranoid, but we obtained a law-enforcement-grade software extraction tool for the iPhone to see exactly what data is up for grabs. You'd be surprised to see just how much data today's smartphones can store -- and police can access.

WHAT THE FUCK,
I think that the cops need to stay out of the cell phone tapping business. I have nothing to hid, just feel like all my rights are slowly being taken away from me. I must wear a helmet while riding my Harley, Seat belts are a must, can't use my phone while driving, now Cops can check my phone that I am not using while driving. what sense does that make? FUCK THAT, GET A WARRANT, OR PRY IT FROM MY DEAD COLD HANDS........
Author: George Orwell, Book: 1984. If you haven't read it, you must have skipped junior high and went straight into high school. I remember thinking how bizarre Orwells' scenario was, wondering how good men would actually sit still and allow their civil liberties to be trampled. I will never forget Kent State and how the military " men" said " we were just doing our job". It starts out small and grows slowly. Now, " snoopery" encompasses all our lives. I have nothing to hide, but you don't have the right to take it and expose it, accidentally or not, to the masses.
