I'm not suggesting Apple should be able to see the content, I'm saying the Police should be able to, when they have a valid court order issued in accordance with the legislation.
For example, A 'Personal Recovery Key' could be recorded in a police database.
To gain access to 'encrypted' data from Apple, a court order is needed, once they have the encrypted data, they can unencrypt it using the key only they hold.

That's about as secure as not having ADP at all, or worse. If that police database gets compromised, not only my data is accessible to the attackers, but I will be none the wiser about it.
Leaving aside the fact that RIPA was drafted by deranged lunatics and deserves zero compliance from anyone, who the hell would you trust to run this database?
Yes, the parent commenter missed the part where Apple cannot see the encrypted content when ADP is used.
But Apple could say, you have 45 days to remove it or we will delete it, then you have to resync your data.
Why would they? What priorities are better served by that approach?

There's lots of ways to skin a cat.

We have a 5th amendment. You shouldn't have to do all the police work for them.
