Why is this whole company and all of it's employees not indicted for trespassing, breaking and entering, burglary, etc?????

How is stealing the most sensitive of data off my phone without my knowledge/consent ANY different then walking into my house and taking my passport??

Because there is no evidence of any data leaving your phone. It's not stealing. It's just a debugger/logger.

The company rep has stated that data leaves the phone. Evidence enough?
