Society need to decide what's more important, absolute total privacy for our personal devices, or the ability for the police to solve crimes like this. I think the scariest thing about that is there's really no inbetween, if we give cops the ability to get into these devices there's really nothing stopping them from doing that kind of thing anytime they want to; and I don't think anyone really trusts them to wield that kind of power responsibly. I guess you could try and limit to a very specific government org like the FBI, but there's no way it'd be safe with them.
I personally think that the negatives far outweigh the positives, there's really no world where the government has total power to break through privacy where things end up turning out ok.
