Yes, I travel a lot. Over 50 countries, 25 in the last 2 years as part of my sabbatical. Sadly, I disagree. If I'm in a foreign country and I want legal advice

Yes, I travel a lot. Over 50 countries, 25 in the last 2 years as part of my sabbatical.
Sadly, I disagree. If I'm in a foreign country and I want legal advice I'll ask the local bar (or equivalent) about my rights. I'm simply not going to unlock my phone or incriminate myself just on the word of law enforcement.
I don't do anything criminal, this is about respect. If they feel I have done something wrong it's for them to prove it. I'm not going to do it for them.
- dkersten 10y agoYou arrive in a foreign country. You get stopped by police and asked to unlock your phone. You're worried you will miss your connecting flight/train/bus/whatever. How will you contact the local bar equivalent in this situation? Even without the time pressure of a connecting flight, you're not exactly going to tell the police "hang on, wait until I google to see who I should contact, and then let me give them a call. Then I will see if I will comply with your order or not"
