Sheriff from Florida has promised to arrest Tim Cook if Apple refused to comply with the requirement of the court

Opposition to the authorities will cause the arrest of Apple CEO Tim Cook. At least, on this outcome insists Sheriff Polk County (Florida) Grady Jude.

"I can tell you that as soon as we will have problems with access to a mobile phone, we will require a court order. And if we fail, I am going to secure the imprisonment of Apple CEO - said County Sheriff Florida. - I'll close the criminal. "




"You can not create a business model:" We do not care about the decision of a federal judge or state judge. We, you know, outside the law ", - said the sheriff. - Apple CEO needs to know that he obeys the law, as well as everyone who is in the United States. "

How Florida Sheriff's going to jail Tim Cook, who lives in California and is unlikely to be in Polk County, is unknown. Nevertheless, he decided to threaten to arrest the head of "apple" of the corporation.

Lawyer Peter Fu believes that the opposition to the authorities could lead to the arrest of the general director of Apple. "Under these circumstances, there is a possibility that Tim Cook can go to jail for failing a court order. This is due to the fact that Apple has publicly stated that it will not execute the court decision and unlock the iPhone, and in this case the courts are forced to assign penalties for failure ", - said the lawyer, in an interview with Fast Company.
