Take off the blinders, knock down that brick wall, take the plugs outa your ears.
He (she?) is NOT defending LEO --- merely stating a LEO-mentality based warning/ reality check.
Basically, if you are not a wide awake, physically and mentally intact, proper English speaker, AND experienced at being a LEO survivor of LEO actions/ enquiries ---- you stand a very high chance of being damaged.
"The Team" commanded "drop the gun" and " put the gun down".
Were there any "don't move", "get on the ground", "show me your hands", "hands behind your head", "turn around", "Walk back slowly", hands behind your back", etc ?
How many voices screaming conflicting (and probably unintelligible} orders?
All it takes is for *ONE of those voices (hyped up on adrenalin) to "see" non-instant-responsiveness to his (or her) voice as a challenging threat, and fire --- the others knee-jerk follow.
It is a BS expedition to build a list of scope (aka gun) owners. Having travelled beyond US borders and attempting to use the Appstore ---- doesn't work -- not even trying a US Server VPN.
Even if Apple could/would violate its implied security customer contract --- the US population inclusion does NOT jive with the "Illegal export" reason for the request.
I was able to scrounge some laughably edited (ie sparkly rainbow replacing gushing blood) GOT stuff --- there is actually a decent story line in there that does not need all that explicit nudity, violence and gore.
Actually, that set is much older than two years. I t evolved under the fan project Star Trek Continues.
STC chose to finish that Captain Kirk 5-year mission and did it in 11 full length episodes and a slew of shorter gags/ vignettes. They got better with each episode IMHO
When they finally finished, they turned the sets over to Stage 9 for preservation --- and <**gasp**> put out legitimate torrents for the work in DVD and Bluray ISO formats
In spite of what "they" claim, it isn't so much actual copyright infringement-- it is objections to fair use. Fair use says you can do a backup/ working copy, use portions and snippets publicly, not use parts (i.e. block out that f-bomb so the kids can watch) --
That is clearly demonstrated by their successfully getting DRM breaking criminalized.
Frankly, P2P is an easy convenient way to get clean editable backups.
I would think the FBI would select a better target device for this charade. The perps are dead. The perps took great pains to destroy their personal tech devices.
We all know "metadata" is there for the FBI's taking -- they already know who they communicated with --even on the destroyed devices.
What could possibly be in existence *only* on that employer-owned device that could be useful?

Well, duh ---- they got shot.

Apples AppStore protocols are geo based.

Method of Purchase
Start filing reversal claims through whatever credit card/ payment service you used.
If the financial service does the to-be- expected too old thing (referring to the purchase date), push the violation of purchase as the date.
Small claims court.
Eventually, someone will get the message.

I have other "portable" emails with alias abilities and built-in encryption abilities (like ProtonMail)
Disguised yahoo account
It ain't just a trade-off for a free account ---- I pay my ISP!
Re: masked intimidation
Unless it them wearing the masks and doing the intimidating (Ruling class exemption is/will be in there somewhere)
Legal?
Re: Re: Canadian
Yes, I put "song" in quotes -- because I too am a member the wrong fan group (with a presumptive stereotypical attitude about the entire genre).
But I forced myself to watch/listen to this one. Definitely cute.
