This is a blatant violation of https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2511 which prohibit direct interception of communications, 4th amendment/UN rights to privacy and encryption http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/FreedomOpinion/Pages/CallForS... extending to personal devices, and circumventing 5th amendment rights of compelled decryption.

Errr, it's pretty much none of those things :) (ie they have a valid search warrant, the fifth amendment does not protect you here under any current caselaw, etc)

> the fifth amendment does not protect you here under any current caselaw

I can't see even a speculative 5th amendment argument. If they can crack your phone without your cooperation, how could they possibly be forcing you to incriminate yourself?

Unlikely, because they have a valid search warrant.

Edit, guess I didn't do my research on the scope of what a warrant allows to be done.
