Customs can do that anyway if you have a password.
- Jeremy1026 9y agoConstitutionally, an individual can not be forced to enter a password for law enforcement (including customs agents).
- eanzenberg 9y agoThat's the point, "constitutionally" while they lock you up for hours/days on end to obtain the warrant needed to give up your password unless you are willing to stay locked up.
- colejohnson66 9y agoMany border agents, it seems, have the “if you have nothing to hide” mentality. So if you’re refusing to unlock your phone, clearly you’re hiding something.
- Jeremy1026 9y agoGet that sweet settlement for wrongful imprisonment.
- tastythrowaway 9y agoHow many times has this actually happened though?
- coldtea 9y agoOr, you know, no settlement, and not even a "sorry, oops" either.
- coldtea 9y agoThat would be comforting if both (a) and (b) were true: (a) the world was only US citizens. (b) nothing unconstitutional ever happened to the first group.
- danjoc 9y ago> Customs can do that anyway if you have a password. Allow me to repeat myself, If you can't lock yourself out, it's not secure. For example, some banks have time locks. Nobody gets into the vault, unless it is in a certain window of time.
- coldtea 9y ago>If you can't lock yourself out, it's not secure. It's not secure if you can lock yourself out either. A court could hold you in contempt for failing to unlock or intently locking. And a state actor or even mugger could just hurt you or even kill you, in frustration if you don't open it for them.
