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

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