I don't understand this.
Isn't accepted by now that government agencies can already do whatever they want with your devices? What's new?

It's just that now it's written in the law so it can be brings in front of a court IMO. The how they do it is more interesting to me though...

I think it's always been possible, but never heard a public admission that they can take control of the phone without consent. I know cops in the states have used Stingray since like the 90's. That's different though as that is a man-in-the-middle attack where they pose as a cell tower and re-direct your calls through their stingray device.
