If you aren't careful, you could end up getting charged with lying to police. That's a serious charge.

- pokemongoaway 9y agoI like the idea of dual booting with vanilla Android and CopperHeadOS. CopperheadOS could also have TrueCryptesque steg volumes. This would allow one to divide their testing and more sensitive data in different profiles. More importantly, you could turn off your phone and it would defaultly boot into the vanilla Android volume (especially good for customs/boarder crossing/TSA). Let me know if you want to help me prototype this :)
- hackermailman 9y agoA prototype exists from 2013 https://www.ccsl.carleton.ca/~askillen/mobiflage/ https://www.ccsl.carleton.ca/~askillen/mobiflage/ but if something like this became popular they would just find ways to discover the 'hidden' partition and force you to open it anyway, or make flashing consumer devices illegal or something.
- nyolfen 9y agoi don't really think they would, at least for a long time; these pushes only come when the measures they address have become trivially easy or default practice. most jihadis have no particular tech expertise, but anyone can install telegram (for example). doing some fringe deep nerd shit like dual booting with a steg volume on your phone will probably never be popular enough to warrant legal reaction, barring specific high-profile instances popping up in the news.
- samstave 9y agoI've never understood why its legal, then, for police to lie to people.
- Retra 9y agoBecause the police are acting with a broad social authority, while you are acting with only your individual authority.
- jopsen 9y agoUndercover police and police lying is most a US phenomenon... It doesn't make much sense.. Yes, undercover police is used in other countries, but there are many restrictions and limitations. The US however is pretty big on what other countries consider entrapment - especially, in fictional TV series :)
- danjoc 9y agoLie to police: Felony. Police lie to you: Doing their job. Hit police: Felony. Police hit you: Doing their job. Break into police computer: Felony. Police break into your computer: Doing their job. I should see what the police pay for computer jobs. Everything extremely illegal becomes legal if I am police.
- rebuilder 9y agoIt's called the state monopoly on violence.
- jopsen 9y agothis is Norway, the police have 3 years of training, and don't carry firearms.. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Police_Service https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Police_Service So it doesn't compare to the systemic issues you have in the US. Besides what are they going to do if you don't unlock...? Give you a fine?
- Fnoord 9y agoWhich is why I suggest to STFU to the police.
- funnyfacts365 9y agoYou and every lawyer.
- fulafel 9y agoIs lying to police a felony in Norway? I think it's not generally a crime in most of the west, though not a right that would override other statutes either.
- jopsen 9y agoA quick Google suggests that Norway might have laws against false explanations... But you're not required to explain anything. Also unlike the US such things aren't used as evidence of guilt, not are they punished by major prison sentences..
- funnyfacts365 9y agoWhy would you need to lie? You're not even forced to say anything besides your name and address. Silence is your right.
