Missing the point: the point is - they're not listening at all. They don't care. You're not a problem to be taken seriously and carefully investigated. You're going to be stuck in the cell and forgotten about anyway. Your equipment will be destroyed. No one is looking.
- gary_0 2y agoCorrupt police are often motivated by money, so the scenario could be: "we overheard you talking about transferring money/cryptocurrency/whatever and we are confiscating it, gives us access or else". My point in starting this thread wasn't that the police are evil/misunderstood/chaotic-neutral, it was that the threat model here shouldn't be solely about one kind of adversary.
