"Locking police out of" assumes that they have a right to be there in the first place.
- anigbrowl 12y agoWell if they have a well-formed wallet they actually do have that right. The constitution contemplates the issuance of warrants precisely because there are circumstances where seizure is entirely appropriate.
- Zigurd 12y agoYou are confusing a right with a power, granted by consent of the governed, that can be withdrawn and can't rewrite the rules of mathematics. People have rights, and under constitutions written the way the US constitution is written, those rights are not enumerated or limited. You have a right to use strong encryption because you have not consented to give away that right. The government has no actual rights at all.
