Welcome to the fascist state

LOL. Lest ye forget, 'twas the previous administration that was revealed as having massive illegal wiretapping and data collection operations in place.

That's right! I do remember hearing that on Fox News. Thank you for reminding us of this. Now we can all question and doubt anything that is said thanks to the con man in the WH. There is no truth to anything because we call what is unquestionably the truth a lie. Anything goes. The truth is a thing of the past. Welcome to the Trump Amerika.

What's the legal justification for searching their phones at all?  If I punch you in the face, can the police get a search warrant to search my house?  What does rioting and destruction of property have to do with your personal information and communications?  Searching the phone sounds like an unreasonable search and taking it in the first place seems like an unreasonable seizure.  They caught these guys red handed and have all the evidence they need to get convictions.  That should be enough.

Presumably the argument will be that they are trying to find evidence for someone "inciting a riot" but they should be able to solve that part of the case with old fashioned interrogation and deal-making with the hundreds of people they arrested.

Yes. It is called hard evidence. If you punch someone in face you go to jail. You are lucky that you just go to jail.... some of us are licensed to carry in many states and that may end-up quite differently including search of phones. So let's stop at that.

So it sounds like if you punch maciekskontakt in the nose you will get shot. Good to know. Interesting to know that he/she considers a nose punch equal force to blowing your brains out with a hand gun. No problem in this country we all love each other and care about each other. Just don't cross me or you will regret it with your life.

I think it is interesting that all the BS around the San Bernardino phone and wanting Apple to unlock it for them. Now all they need is a week or so to unlock hundreds of phones. Nice to see that they are getting better at technology. This is just your government out of control. Because after all who is going to stop them.

One more reason to show it was a bad idea for Apple to get out of the display business.  I had a LG refrigerator that was a piece of crap. It is highly unlikely that I will ever buy a LG product again.

It is not Trump who scares me. Mitch Mcconnell will keep him in line. It is the people who voted for Trump that worry me. A co-worker was in Target yesterday and watched as a man walked up to a black woman and got in her face and said "I bet you're  scared now".  

Doesn't sound very likely. The story sounds like it was made-up by someone who didn't vote Trump and wants to invent stories to make it more difficult to accept him as our President. 

So now it begins. You don't believe that it really happened. Because if it really did then you have to begin to be concerned about what you have set in motion by voting for Trump. Soon all those lilly poor white trash people will begin to realize that Trump is not going to do a damn thing to make there situation better. Then there are going to be really pissed off and, look out then.
