The burden is on them to prove that I didn't confuse my two passwords accidentally. I have SO many passwords, officer. Silly me.

Only in theory... most likely they will load you up with at least 5 federal charges and offer you a Faustian plea bargain where you admit guilt to avoid a lifetime in jail.

Now if you had a list of codes in your wallet, one of which was a duress code... it's not your fault they tried the code while you exercise your right to remain silent.

i tried to share an article from a decade ago of a man who used a defense like this and the judge held him jail in contempt for several years; but both the internet or i have have a short memory and my only point was to be prepared to spend a couple of years behind bars if you do this and have a shitty judge (like most are).
