She has rappelled down into caves and gone up in helicopters for KQED’s The California Report but her favorite place to pursue a story is the High Sierra or any family-run bakery, of course. Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

Video of the arrest garnered national attention and drew comparisons to the 1991 Los Angeles police beating of Rodney King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irh3JUch7Hg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reports were released to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mlacabe\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Katz-Lacabe\u003c/a> on March 18 following two public records requests for them, the first of which was denied. Katz-Lacabe \u003ca href=\"http://www.cehrp.org/alameda-county-sheriffs-pursuit-and-beating-of-stanislav-petrov/\" target=\"_blank\">published\u003c/a> the unredacted reports on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pursuit began early in the morning of Nov. 12 in a San Leandro hotel parking lot. Two deputies attempted to contact the driver of a white Mercedes that had been reported stolen. The driver, later identified as Petrov, rammed both deputies' patrol cars and pushed his way out of the parking lot, injuring one of the deputies. The other began a chase that would exceed 100 mph and lead at least half-a-dozen deputies to a darkened alley in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after 2 a.m., Petrov crashed into a parked car near Stevenson and 14th streets, according to Deputy Shawn Osborne's report. Petrov jumped from the Mercedes and ran, with deputies Luis Santamaria and Paul Wieber in close foot pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wieber and Santamaria wrote in incident reports four days after the arrest that they feared Petrov had a weapon and was leading them into an ambush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because I did not know the street we were on as we pursued Petrov, I was worried that Deputy Wieber and I could be killed or seriously injured,\" Santamaria wrote in his report.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'They attempt to justify why they beat this man nearly to death, and their explanation doesn't stand up to the video.'\u003ccite>Jeff Adachi,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco public defender\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Wieber is about 10 feet behind Petrov when they both enter the frame of a Stevenson Street surveillance camera. Wieber tackles Petrov as he slows and looks over his left shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy wrote that he slid forward and lost control of Petrov during the tackle and that he felt Petrov attempt to raise himself off the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Petrov had committed an assault with a deadly weapon against a deputy [when he rammed the deputies' patrol cars in San Leandro] and I had no doubt he would attempt to seriously harm me if given the opportunity,\" Wieber wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santamaria began hitting \"on his upper left arm to gain his compliance\" as Wieber got to his feet, he wrote. Both deputies then continued to strike Petrov more than 30 times as he wriggled on the ground and cried out in pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Petrov refused to surrender and I feared Deputy Santamaria and I were starting to fatigue,\" Wieber wrote. Both deputies said they felt dizzy from exertion as more deputies started to arrive and began handcuffing Petrov's broken arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who released surveillance video of the arrest on Nov. 13, said the deputies wrote a \"legal fiction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"GMJG4HyJrJTA6Z0uMOSI2vWRaGZffBcb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They obviously wrote this after they were aware of the video that we released,\" Adachi said. \"They attempt to justify why they beat this man nearly to death, and their explanation doesn't stand up to the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said it wasn't uncommon for the deputies to have filed reports four days after the arrest, and especially so during the investigation of the Petrov beating. He said the deputies requested attorneys before writing their reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was likely that this case could be punitive,\" he said. \"They requested attorneys, and so the department has to afford them. We have to comply when they want an attorney.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly said no law or policy would have prevented Wieber and Santamaria from viewing the video between its release on a Friday and submitting their reports the following Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the video had gone pretty viral at that point,\" he said. \"So it's probably obvious.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney Michael Haddad is representing Petrov. He said Wieber and Santamaria wrote \"CYA reports.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Basically they knew the jig was up, and so you can see them writing very defensively trying to justify the multiple deadly force head strikes with steel batons,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wieber and Santamaria remain on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the arrest, Kelly said. He said their incident reports, as well as those of 20 other sheriff's deputies involved in the incident and investigation, should not have been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think it's going to affect the case and the investigation at this point,\" he said, adding that the reports would have been released at some point. \"It came to light sooner rather than later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Sierry Wilhelm wrote in a follow-up report Nov. 16 that none of the 11 deputies or two sergeants involved in the incident had activated their body-worn cameras. Activation of the cameras is optional under the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/305963137/Alameda-County-Sheriff-s-Office-Body-Camera-Policy\" target=\"_blank\">sheriff's current policy\u003c/a>, which is going to change. Kelly said Petrov's arrest had a lot to do with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're aware that 11 cameras were not activated,\" he said. \"That's concerning and that's one of the reasons that we're looking at new technologies with auto-activation. ... They consciously would have to turn it off. We're looking at fail-proof systems for activation, so the officers don't forget or whatever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi and Haddad both said the failure of so many deputies to activate body cameras concerns them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't turn your camera on if you're committing a crime,\" Haddad said, \"and that's probably what's happening here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad said he's held off on filing a civil claim to give the San Francisco district attorney time to file criminal charges against Wieber, Santamaria and any other deputies or officers involved in the incident, but time is running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It didn't take more than a few days to look at the video and determine that these officers committed crimes and clearly acted outside of any legitimate law enforcement policy,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco district attorney is still considering criminal charges related to the incident, a spokesman confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Petrov jumped from the Mercedes and ran, with deputies Luis Santamaria and Paul Wieber in close foot pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wieber and Santamaria wrote in incident reports four days after the arrest that they feared Petrov had a weapon and was leading them into an ambush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because I did not know the street we were on as we pursued Petrov, I was worried that Deputy Wieber and I could be killed or seriously injured,\" Santamaria wrote in his report.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'They attempt to justify why they beat this man nearly to death, and their explanation doesn't stand up to the video.'\u003ccite>Jeff Adachi,\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco public defender\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Wieber is about 10 feet behind Petrov when they both enter the frame of a Stevenson Street surveillance camera. Wieber tackles Petrov as he slows and looks over his left shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy wrote that he slid forward and lost control of Petrov during the tackle and that he felt Petrov attempt to raise himself off the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Petrov had committed an assault with a deadly weapon against a deputy [when he rammed the deputies' patrol cars in San Leandro] and I had no doubt he would attempt to seriously harm me if given the opportunity,\" Wieber wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santamaria began hitting \"on his upper left arm to gain his compliance\" as Wieber got to his feet, he wrote. Both deputies then continued to strike Petrov more than 30 times as he wriggled on the ground and cried out in pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Petrov refused to surrender and I feared Deputy Santamaria and I were starting to fatigue,\" Wieber wrote. Both deputies said they felt dizzy from exertion as more deputies started to arrive and began handcuffing Petrov's broken arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who released surveillance video of the arrest on Nov. 13, said the deputies wrote a \"legal fiction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They obviously wrote this after they were aware of the video that we released,\" Adachi said. \"They attempt to justify why they beat this man nearly to death, and their explanation doesn't stand up to the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said it wasn't uncommon for the deputies to have filed reports four days after the arrest, and especially so during the investigation of the Petrov beating. He said the deputies requested attorneys before writing their reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was likely that this case could be punitive,\" he said. \"They requested attorneys, and so the department has to afford them. We have to comply when they want an attorney.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly said no law or policy would have prevented Wieber and Santamaria from viewing the video between its release on a Friday and submitting their reports the following Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the video had gone pretty viral at that point,\" he said. \"So it's probably obvious.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney Michael Haddad is representing Petrov. He said Wieber and Santamaria wrote \"CYA reports.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Basically they knew the jig was up, and so you can see them writing very defensively trying to justify the multiple deadly force head strikes with steel batons,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wieber and Santamaria remain on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the arrest, Kelly said. He said their incident reports, as well as those of 20 other sheriff's deputies involved in the incident and investigation, should not have been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think it's going to affect the case and the investigation at this point,\" he said, adding that the reports would have been released at some point. \"It came to light sooner rather than later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Sierry Wilhelm wrote in a follow-up report Nov. 16 that none of the 11 deputies or two sergeants involved in the incident had activated their body-worn cameras. Activation of the cameras is optional under the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/305963137/Alameda-County-Sheriff-s-Office-Body-Camera-Policy\" target=\"_blank\">sheriff's current policy\u003c/a>, which is going to change. Kelly said Petrov's arrest had a lot to do with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're aware that 11 cameras were not activated,\" he said. \"That's concerning and that's one of the reasons that we're looking at new technologies with auto-activation. ... They consciously would have to turn it off. We're looking at fail-proof systems for activation, so the officers don't forget or whatever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi and Haddad both said the failure of so many deputies to activate body cameras concerns them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't turn your camera on if you're committing a crime,\" Haddad said, \"and that's probably what's happening here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad said he's held off on filing a civil claim to give the San Francisco district attorney time to file criminal charges against Wieber, Santamaria and any other deputies or officers involved in the incident, but time is running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It didn't take more than a few days to look at the video and determine that these officers committed crimes and clearly acted outside of any legitimate law enforcement policy,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the stakes to uncover the unnamed \"third party\" working with the FBI are tremendously high. The newspaper report got \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-cellebrite-idUSKCN0WP17J\" target=\"_blank\">picked up\u003c/a> by Reuters in Tel Aviv and, from there, rippled through the tech blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Sp1R1hqhPraE9OcMWFZyIN4VXUghOiFV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's the company?

We don't know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we have is a lot of speculation — and a lot of skepticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI's response is that the agency cannot comment on the identity of the third party that's assisting it. Cellebrite, too, has not commented to NPR, and told other media little beyond the fact that it has worked with the Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National security blogger Marcy Wheeler \u003ca href=\"https://www.emptywheel.net/\" target=\"_blank\">traced the breadcrumbs\u003c/a> of court documents, filed in relation to the San Bernardino investigation and another federal investigation involving another locked iPhone, to arrive at the suspicion that the FBI did ask Cellebrite to open the phone used by Syed Rizwan Farook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just as much, this could be a brilliant publicity stunt by Cellebrite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/csoghoian/status/712708683034132481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stoking the rumors was a new contract, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/fpdsportal?q=cellebrite+CONTRACTING_AGENCY_NAME%3A%22FEDERAL+BUREAU+OF+INVESTIGATION%22+PIID%3A%22DJF161200P0004424%22+PIID%3A%22DJF161200P0004424%22&s=FPDSNG.COM&templateName=1.4.4&indexName=awardfull&sortBy=SIGNED_DATE&desc=Y\" target=\"_blank\">posted in the government database\u003c/a> on Wednesday but dated March 21 — the day when the FBI announced it may have found a new solution — for services from Cellebrite USA. Forensics experts quickly sought to dispel this particular contract's relevance, attributing it to software licensing renewal and pointing to the meager $15,278 price tag and given \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/zenalbatross/status/712661285356355584\" target=\"_blank\">principal place of performance\u003c/a>\" of Chicago, not San Bernardino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this time, no concrete evidence is pointing at Cellebrite. And we don't know for sure what method the FBI is testing either. Apple lawyers have indicated that they would like the government to disclose the method it would use to get inside Farook's iPhone. But it's also entirely possible the FBI will ask to keep both the vendor and the method classified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What The Method Might Be\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we \u003cem>do\u003c/em> know is that there have been several alternative ideas floating in the security community about how the FBI could overcome the iPhone security features preventing the agency from hooking the phone up to a computer and trying unlimited passcodes to find the right one without triggering a content wipeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, FBI Director James Comey faced several questions about one technique in a congressional hearing. At the time, Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/03/01/468599364/fbi-chief-tells-congress-encryption-is-creating-warrant-proof-devices\" target=\"_blank\">testified\u003c/a> that he was confident that government experts had considered all options before seeking a court order for Apple to write special software.

"content": "\u003cp>LOS ANGELES — In a stunning disclosure, federal authorities said Monday that they may have found a way to unlock an iPhone used by one of the shooters in the San Bernardino attack, a development that could make Apple's forced cooperation unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a filing late Monday, federal prosecutors asked to delay a much-anticipated court hearing set for Tuesday over the FBI's demand for Apple to help unlock Syed Rizwan Farook's encrypted phone. \"An outside party\" came forward over the weekend and showed the FBI a possible method for unlocking the phone, according to the filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities need time to determine \"whether it is a viable method that will not compromise data\" on the phone. If viable, \"it should eliminate the need for the assistance from Apple,\" according to the filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Melanie Newman said the government was \"cautiously optimistic\" that the possible method will work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym could rule on the government's request to delay Tuesday's hearing at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a month, the government and Apple have waged a very public debate over whether breaking into one phone would jeopardize the security of all encrypted devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"0feKUKVFoMRWQmyJbnvpSak0Kqwe0Jro\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors have argued that the phone used by Farook probably contains evidence of the Dec. 2 attack in which the county food inspector and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/05/fbi-trying-to-solve-riddle-of-suspects-travels-after-san-bernardino-attack\" target=\"_blank\">slaughtered 14 at a holiday luncheon\u003c/a> attended by many of his work colleagues. The two were killed in a police shootout hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI has said the couple was inspired by the Islamic State group. Investigators still are trying to piece together what happened and find out if there were collaborators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple destroyed other phones they left behind and the FBI has been unable to circumvent the passcode needed to unlock the iPhone, which is owned by San Bernardino County and was given to Farook for his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Pym ordered Apple to create software that would disable security features on the phone, including one that erases all the information if a passcode is incorrectly entered more than 10 times. That would allow the FBI to electronically run possible combinations to open the phone without losing data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple said the government was seeking \"dangerous power\" that exceeds the authority of the All Writs Act of 1789 it cited and violates the company's constitutional rights, harms the Apple brand and threatens the trust of its customers to protect their privacy. The 18th-century law has been used on other cases to require third parties to help law enforcement in investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said the order is unreasonably burdensome. Once created, it would be asked to repeatedly design such software for use by authorities at home and abroad, and the technology could fall into the hands of hackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has countered that Apple could create the software for one phone, retain it during the process to protect itself, then destroy it. Apple has said that creating software is a form of speech and being forced to do so violates its First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides have mounted aggressive public relations campaigns to present their side and rhetoric at times has been charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple CEO Tim Cook ripped the government's \"backdoor\" approach, a term applied to hackers that has also been used to criticize the way the government eavesdrops on encrypted communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FBI Director James Comey rejected talk of seeking a \"master key\" and said his agency just wanted Apple to remove its \"vicious guard dog\" so it can pick the lock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10904389\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-800x565.jpg\" alt=\"FBI Director James Comey arrives to testify during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled 'The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing Americans' Security and Privacy,' on Capitol Hill on March 1, 2016. \" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10904389\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-800x565.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-400x283.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-1180x834.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-960x679.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FBI Director James Comey arrives to testify during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled 'The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing Americans' Security and Privacy,' on Capitol Hill on March 1, 2016. \u003ccite>(Drew Angerer/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement organizations have weighed in on the side of the Justice Department and called on Apple to help in the investigation. President Barack Obama has said he values privacy but criticized \"fetishizing our phones above every other value\" and said there had to be some way to get information from the devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other technology heavyweights, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo, along with civil liberties groups and privacy advocates, have supported one of the world's largest technology companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims and relatives of the San Bernardino attack have come down on both sides, with some urging Apple to help and others saying privacy concerns are paramount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case gained immense attention, it wasn't the first time the government and Apple have clashed over access to iPhone data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of Pym's order, a magistrate judge in New York was weighing whether to force Apple to help the government gain access to data on the phone of a methamphetamine dealer. The phone in question, however, used an older operating system than the phone in the San Bernardino case. Apple already has a method to extract data from such phones and had done so at least 70 times for law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bernardino case raised the stakes in the fight because Apple says it was being asked to create a method to access the phone's data that does not exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks ago, the judge sided with Apple, saying prosecutors were stretching an old law \"to produce impermissibly absurd results.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is appealing that order.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If viable, \"it should eliminate the need for the assistance from Apple,\" according to the filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Melanie Newman said the government was \"cautiously optimistic\" that the possible method will work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym could rule on the government's request to delay Tuesday's hearing at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The two were killed in a police shootout hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI has said the couple was inspired by the Islamic State group. Investigators still are trying to piece together what happened and find out if there were collaborators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple destroyed other phones they left behind and the FBI has been unable to circumvent the passcode needed to unlock the iPhone, which is owned by San Bernardino County and was given to Farook for his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Pym ordered Apple to create software that would disable security features on the phone, including one that erases all the information if a passcode is incorrectly entered more than 10 times. That would allow the FBI to electronically run possible combinations to open the phone without losing data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple said the government was seeking \"dangerous power\" that exceeds the authority of the All Writs Act of 1789 it cited and violates the company's constitutional rights, harms the Apple brand and threatens the trust of its customers to protect their privacy. The 18th-century law has been used on other cases to require third parties to help law enforcement in investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said the order is unreasonably burdensome. Once created, it would be asked to repeatedly design such software for use by authorities at home and abroad, and the technology could fall into the hands of hackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has countered that Apple could create the software for one phone, retain it during the process to protect itself, then destroy it. Apple has said that creating software is a form of speech and being forced to do so violates its First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides have mounted aggressive public relations campaigns to present their side and rhetoric at times has been charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple CEO Tim Cook ripped the government's \"backdoor\" approach, a term applied to hackers that has also been used to criticize the way the government eavesdrops on encrypted communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FBI Director James Comey rejected talk of seeking a \"master key\" and said his agency just wanted Apple to remove its \"vicious guard dog\" so it can pick the lock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10904389\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-800x565.jpg\" alt=\"FBI Director James Comey arrives to testify during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled 'The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing Americans' Security and Privacy,' on Capitol Hill on March 1, 2016. \" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10904389\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-800x565.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-400x283.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-1180x834.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/ComeyFBI-1-960x679.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FBI Director James Comey arrives to testify during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled 'The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing Americans' Security and Privacy,' on Capitol Hill on March 1, 2016. \u003ccite>(Drew Angerer/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement organizations have weighed in on the side of the Justice Department and called on Apple to help in the investigation. President Barack Obama has said he values privacy but criticized \"fetishizing our phones above every other value\" and said there had to be some way to get information from the devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other technology heavyweights, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo, along with civil liberties groups and privacy advocates, have supported one of the world's largest technology companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims and relatives of the San Bernardino attack have come down on both sides, with some urging Apple to help and others saying privacy concerns are paramount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case gained immense attention, it wasn't the first time the government and Apple have clashed over access to iPhone data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of Pym's order, a magistrate judge in New York was weighing whether to force Apple to help the government gain access to data on the phone of a methamphetamine dealer. The phone in question, however, used an older operating system than the phone in the San Bernardino case. Apple already has a method to extract data from such phones and had done so at least 70 times for law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bernardino case raised the stakes in the fight because Apple says it was being asked to create a method to access the phone's data that does not exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks ago, the judge sided with Apple, saying prosecutors were stretching an old law \"to produce impermissibly absurd results.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is appealing that order.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He figured someone was living inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, “boom, this guy pops out of the van.
