People need to make a big deal about this. The government paid for software that can plant files on your phone and hard drive for fucks sake.

(programmatically planting incriminating files on a target hard drive).

"Programmatically" is a straw man distraction. The HackingTeam docs advertise the ability to upload and modify hard drive contents. Finding and compressing\downloading files are all that is needed for "packaging evidence". The upload file ability is specifically designed for some asshole to install more illegal malware\spyware and can be used to plant evidence, like classified files or porn they use to frame people.

Arguments like this are why people get away with shit, nitpicking the little stuff instead of standing up and shouting "This Is Wrong, Arrest Them".
