Good luck showing that in many cases. Especially if it is an encrypted external drive. I think in most cases they aren't going to be able to show "beyond reasonable doubt" that a person definitely still knows the password.
- dllthomas 10y agoI don't disagree, but I don't think that is a sufficient reason to bear the kind of risk of indefinitely jailing innocents entailed by not requiring such a showing.
- mordocai 10y agoNecroing this, but the proper thing to do is just don't indefinitely jail people without proof of something rather than "requiring" such a showing(you can't really require it since, barring torture/some kind of mind probe, the person can always sit in jail indefinitely and refuse).
