Can't speak for the US, but in the UK and Australia at least it's a crime to withhold a password. Seems the US varies depending on jurisdiction. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law
- RexRollman 12y agoI think forced password disclosure is sickening. In my opinion, they are forcing defendants to assist in their own prosecution.
- moonfern 12y agoI don't think that invalidates the presumption of innocence. It's the digital alternative of a search warrant. Imagine a world where prosecutors could not enter your house.
- leephillips 12y ago"Imagine a world where prosecutors could not enter your house" I think I like this world. It's not the presumption of innocence that's the problem, it's being forced to be a witness against yourself.
