The Miami Herald reports that a child abuse suspect was jailed for six months for contempt of court after failing to reveal the correct passcode to his iPhone Why is he being forced to incriminate himself? 1) the information on the phone will change the charges against him and/or sentence. It would seem that a fifth amendment defence is appropriate, and legal 2) the information on the phone will not change the charges against him and/or sentence. In which case the information isn't needed. This whole debate for me can be summarized into one idea: Do you want other people to be able to watch everything you do?. If so, all bets are off. If not, the government shouldn't have the right to watch suspects, or to force people to incriminate themselves.
