“They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone.”

Jesus Christ. Reminds me of Eastern Europe in the early 90s.

Some western European countries already do the same thing nowadays. It goes against constitutional laws where you can remain silent and where you can't be forced to help with your own conviction.

It’s the blimp scene from Indiana jones, except he says “no password” instead of “no papers” after he throws the guy out of the blimp.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
