Sorry for piggy-backing on this, but I have one question that I have never had
answered (US, EU jurisdictions mainly):

How is it possible or what is the reason/judicature/excuse for law enforcement
to try to get into your phone/notebook to get all your data just for anything
you might be accused of? It kind of feels like unreasonable search.

I.e. for law enforcement to use all kinds of vendors to exploit a bug on your
phone to get all of your the data, generally not even related to the case.
