Kind of a weird situation

It is a County owned phone
There is a Court order to open it so there is nothing stopping the FBI from opening it

Now just because they can't manage that using their own initiative and abilities or perhaps refuse to even try ??? How does that become Apple's (or anyone else) legal responsibility to do so...

The Government can ask, (and have in the past) but I don't see the leap to be able to legally compel a private company to provide it's expertise..

Perhaps the County should have had a "Master Key " for their phones


Guess this one will work it's way through court
