No one is forced to give up information, you mean they were convinced and ignorant of their rights. Which was given up voluntarily in any case.
The tactic you mentioned has been used here in the US aswell. Something similar was done to DPR that brought down The Silk Road.
- scarface74 7y agoYou really don’t think that police brutality is a thing - ie rubber hose decryption?
- datapunk 7y agoI think your point is moot. Is torture legal? Is any evidence gained through torture admissable? Are any law enforcement allowed to use torture to gain access to information? You should be able to answer those yourself. Legal rights are not trumpt by illegal tactics, no matter what information is recovered.
- scarface74 7y agoIs torture legal? No, but it happens all of the time. Is any evidence gained through torture admissable? If the police lie and say the person wasn’t tortured or do you believe that police don’t lie? Are any law enforcement allowed to use torture to gain access to information? Yes and police never lie and district attorneys never illegally withhold evidence from the defense.... You’re making a lot of assumptions that police, judges, and district attorneys play by the rules and that overworked public defenders have the time or the will to be great advocates for defenders.
