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?

@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
