If the phone's security prevents them from accessing information, then they have no information. How can they prove there was any information on it to begin with?

They just accuse you of withholding evidence. Yay for freedom of speech.

@SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml the courts already decided that it was okay to jail people for literal years for not providing a password: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Rawls

and there are more:

  • United States v. Fricosu
  • United States v. Doe (2012)
  • United States v. Kirschner

Jfc. Next you'll be jailed for not having a phone

I assume all PC users are also on watchlists because they can run Linux or BSD too? Even if they haven't erased Windows yet?

And old.

This has been a thing for decades but too few noticed and many more will stay unaware unless it bites them.

That was a court order though. If there is no court order and no warrant, they shouldn’t be snooping through anything.

the courts have decided that all ports of entry -- including airports -- are constitution free zones; meaning that the constitution does not apply there.

as a result most americans -- 2/3rds of them -- live in places where the constitution does not apply to them.

Yeah, this is bananas. Especially when Antifa is labeled as a terrorist group and they say all of us are Antifa
