What do any of you, have on your phones you need to be kept secret from the FBI?

the phone is owned by san bernadino county, california. the terrorist never owned it.
privacy is an essential element of society. So is law enforcement. We are not in a dictatorship, we are a nation of laws with a court system that is a check on the cops. if a judge agrees the cops need a persons data for good public cause, how does anyone argue that the govt should not work to get around all security features.
i think those defending apple are falsely accusing the government of requiring master keys to all encryption. thats not the facts here. everyone can keep their data erase feature, until you commit a crime.
or is this entire issue an academic one about the government going nazi & ransacking your private data? does china forbid apple from encrypting phones or disable the auto-erase?
this whole thing sounds to me like more liberal hand wringing over nothing.
