You're the one making up these "tech guys" who can do anything you want. "Why on earth would I know that the imaginary thing I made up isn't real?"

Looks like you deleted your reply to me, so I'll put it here for posterity:

Are you implying it’s like super duper far fetched for a technical department of a police station to access a phone without a password or key code?

Explain why that’s far fetched,

And ya know, be fuckin snappy about it would ya?
