Yet another reason to not use google apps or devices. If they were a moral company they would be fighting these illegal searches in courts.
As to the “if you were a victim of a crime...” argument— everyone compromised by this illegal search is a victim of a crime.
So long as the government is out there violating the law, they don’t get to use an “end justify the means” argument. Fishing expeditions existed in the 1700s— in fact that’s exactly WHY we have the fourth amendment.
Fortunately technology is advancing and people are getting smarter about these kinds of vulnerabilities. As criminals (not just cops but thieves) use them people are starting to lock their devices down.
Lord knows we can’t count of the government to enforce the law against itself. The FBI spent forty years perpetuating scientific fraud in court and people are having trouble getting those convictions overturned— of course no prosecutors are doing their job and bringing charges against the FBI for their crime.
