Would local LE hack an iPhone or Google phone in a steroid bust case?

[master.on]

The FBI was finally able to hack the iphone possibly belonging to a terrorist, without any apple help.

That was terrorism
Now, in a small steroid case
could local LE hack the phones themselves or readily ask for FBI help in such small cases?

I doubt it. If it took them that long for a Terrorist.. I don't see em caring about a gear case lol.

It would depend all on how bad they want you. If they want you they will get you.

Chances are as a consumer you would never get busted like that. A very large US Domestic supplier on the other hand... would be an FBI case in and of itself crossing state lines.

Don't think the feds don't break the law to get info who is going to stop them , cell phones are big heat scores get rid of your phone If u are feeling heat
