From article no. 0:
"<...> police stopped them for unrelated matters and discovered the shock images upon inspecting their mobile phones"
What?? So police in UK can now ask to inspect inside your phone without any warrant or even reason?
- J-dawg 10y agoIt looks that way. Does anyone know what the UK legal position is about forcing someone to unlock their device? I know you can be jailed here for refusing to hand over an encryption key. I don't know whether your passcode / fingerprint counts as an encryption key in they eyes of the law.
- kbart 10y agoIf you refuse to hand over encryption keys in court, after you'd been officially charged that's one thing (though not saying that it's justified either), but if you've been stopped for i.e. mundane traffic check and asked to hand over your phone for inspection, that's totally wrong and oppressive.
