My view of this part of the Constitution is that the person and their device are protected and law enforcement is wrong.

You seem to not sharing the Constitution's distinction between warrantless and warranted searches. The complaint being fielded by some in law enforcement is that recent changes in encryption mechanisms in iOS and Android will render many warranted searches useless.

> distinction?

Yes, in the first paragraph is implicitly assumed that law enforcement didn't have a warrant.

But eventually I also wrote "if they don't have one of those warrant thingies. Even if they do have a warrant, do I have to decrypt the data for them?"

So, there I was considering the distinction.
