> a password so offensive that it doesn't matter who asks you, they won't believe that's your password. If they don't believe it's your password, then you haven't really avoided the punishment for not disclosing your password (although you might take some comfort from a kind of moral victory, having told the truth and complied with the letter of the law). Instead of coming up with a password that offends the police, a better approach is to come up with one that interests them, specifically a detailed admission of a crime. For example, the password could be of the form "I killed John Doe, and buried the body in my garden". Assuming your jurisdiction has protections against self-incrimination, and you can convince a judge that your password really does contain such information, they may have to choose between not learning your password, and giving you some sort of immunity deal. Of course, if this approach leads to innocent citizens routinely committing crimes just to come up with a unique password (or worse, criminals baiting police into giving them immunity in return for access to dummy encrypted data) then the only law that will be followed is the Law of Unintended Consequences.
