> * The police acquired a warrant and presented the warrant legally. The man refused, committing the crime of contempt of court* The article also mentions that the law is not settled as to whether, and under what circumstances a court may compel the disclosure of a password. In the 11th circuit, courts are generally not empowered to compel decryption[0]. Being forced to disclose a password or key is treated as equivalent to being forced to testify against one's self, which is expressly prohibited by the fifth amendment. Florida is in the 11th circuit, and Montanez might have grounds for a lawsuit here.
