Presumably they already have something implicating that you would have data they need. Testimony or something.
If you give them an innocous password, they make a judgement on whether its they real password. If they think there is an even more real password they just keep asking you for the real password under threat of jail time.
- alan_cx 14y agoThat "something" is the most scary and dangerous bit. It might be something the government want to keep secret, but can be used secretly as evidence in a hidden court session. So you will never ever be able to find out why they think you are lying and never ever have the chance to defend yourself or prove their evidence wrong. Hell, you cant even verify it reasonably exists. AFAIK, the only safeguard we have left in the UK are judges, and thus far they are not politically appointed like they are in say the US.
