I now live in America but I know little about laws. Let's forget about Apple and technology.

Let's say that the gunman had a safe in his apartment. FBI can't open it without destroying its content.

FBI (like in others countries) can ask the Company who made the safe for help to open it and that company should help them to do so at its best.

If that company is unable to open the safe, is it admissible (under the current laws) to ask the Company to make a master key?
