Apple accuses FBI of violating constitutional rights in iPhone battle | 25 Feb 2016 | Apple's lawyers believe forcing America’s largest company to help the government crack open one of its iPhones would violate the US constitution and be a misinterpretation of a 227-year-old law. The 36-page legal brief, submitted on 25 February, is Apple's first formal rebuttal to a court order to write and sign software that would make it easier for investigators to open a phone used by [alleged] San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook, who, with his wife Tashfeen Malik, [allegedly] killed 14 and wounded 22 on 2 December. The tech firm's attorneys argue the government seeks “a dangerous power that Congress and the American people have withheld: the ability to force companies like Apple to undermine the basic security and privacy interests of hundreds of millions of individuals around the globe.”
