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.
