Re: Q: How is the government ever going to convict bad guys without access to encryption?

In the UK the government not having 'access to [un]encrypt' is enough to convict.

While some of my former teachers would probably agree with forgetting being a crime, it seems a bit much to me.

Why don't the FBI say to Ford that they need a way to remotely lock any vehicle and have it drive itself to the nearest police station? By their logic they can force any company to do anything, right?
