No, but they may lie, coerce, and otherwise try to convince you to give up the password without laying a hand on you. This might not sound so bad on paper, but

This might not sound so bad on paper, but I personally don't know what I would do when locked in a room with a professional interrogator.

- hugh3 15y agoI am totally cool with the FBI lying, coercing and otherwise trying to convince criminals to give up the evidence against themselves, as long as they don't actually break out the wrench. The idea that you can't be compelled to testify against yourself, present in many western legal systems, is a good one, and is designed to prevent both torture and false imprisonment due to torture-induced false confessions. But that doesn't mean it's not a good thing in those circumstances when a guilty person does incriminate themselves.
- burgerbrain 15y agoHow exactly is coercion ok? These are not criminals we are talking about. These are citizens accused of crimes.
- hugh3 15y agoRight. But if they're innocent, then the evidence won't incriminate them.
- burgerbrain 15y agoAre you seriously pulling a "nothing to hide if you are innocent"? I can't believe this.
- Karunamon 15y agoHeh, that's what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik
